KARACHI: Zong has said that it will expand its' Biometric Verification System (BVS) at their customer service centers by initially introducing it throughout Karachi and Baluchistan.

This endeavour is set to make a substantial contribution towards eliminating unregistered SIMs by adhering to the directives of Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA). and the government of Pakistan.

It was in the latter half of 2013 that Zong introduced the BVS system in Pakistan. The verification system requires each citizen to approach one of their retailer, franchisee or customer service centers of Zong and provide their fingerprints for authentication against their national identity card. Upon positive verification, the SIM will be activated.
