Then i think there is some error in this PTA system. because how come everyone gets information about registeration of extra sims in their names.
Actually what happens is that when you go for buying a SIM and give your ID card's copy to the frencise or the thailay wala they are supposed to send that copy to the carrier who in turn register your SIM on that ID card and name, but unfortunately what the sellers do is that when they by the end of the day collect and sift through thier 'sale' of the day, they probably have lost, torn or wasted a few copies, say thanks to their efficient system of accountability and check.
So now if they going to send the SIM registration form without a copy of an ID card the carrier as per rules would block the SIM after i think 48 hours as there wouldnt be any ID card to register the SIM with. Therefore to save their a$$ and to save the money, here's what the franchise and shop walas do; they would just attach your form (whose ID copy has been lost of torn) with another guy's form (which would be having a ID card) and show as if that guy has bought more than one SIM (which is not a crime and is legal), so now your SIM would not be blocked (as it has a ID card with it, though wrong one). You are happy, the seller is happy and the carrier is happy, but when you call the help line, may be after a month and the CRO asks for your name and give a 'wrong' name he or she tells you that your SIM is not registered with your name and you are flabbergasted and fight with him/her. But the fact remains that your SIM has been registered to a wrong guy. Now this is normal and not many would come to know about it.
This facility (668) has allowed us to easily check if there are more SIMs registered on our name.
i know this because it has happened to me and when i screwed the CRO once for a wrong SIM registered on my name he told me the entire story and than i went to the franchise where i bought SIM and guess what the 'manager' (after i was about to kill him) told me; "Sir, kaya karain ID cards ki copies gum jati hain, bahut sari hoti hain na, ab khali SIM tu bhaij nahi saktay agay, warna block hojayege, or buyer k pas be itna time nahi hai k dobara a kar copy day jaye, tu hum kisi bhi ID card per SIM ka number charha dyty hain!!!"
So guys, check it up and get the wrong SIMs blocked, or you may find yourself in thick soup!
i had two wring SIMs registered on my name and i got it blocked after i checked it from this SMS thingy.
