SIM cards & keeping a number

In Pakistan a SIM needs a passport, a Pakistani visa and fingerprint biometrics, one SIM per operator. Phones must be registered too: foreign visitors can register one device free on PTA’s DIRBS portal for 120 days per visit; on day 121 the IMEI is cut off. Tourist SIMs generally end with the visa.
