How to activate Zong sim

If you have bought new sim from zong franchise or local dealer (in Pakistan) after registration it is not activated when given to you.

You have to activate it yourself and have to wait for a while before your zong sim is activated.

How to activate zong sim

You need to activate this sim by the following way:

To activate your new zong sim simply put the sim in your mobile phone and dial 789 and follow this instructions.

This method will also work if you have ported or changed your network from:

  • ufone to zong
  • mobilink to zong
  • telenor to zong

And any other cellular network in Pakistan to Zong.

Once you convert your number from one network to another, you’re issued a new sim that you have to use instead of the old network one.

The activation of the new sim takes couple of days (3 days usually). Therefore be patient before the new sim gets activated.

How will you know if the new sim has been activated? Well it’s simple, if your current sim loses its signals and shows no network, then it means it has been removed from the networks and now your number is ported to the new network. Simply put in the new sim and you will find it activated.

Let me know if you have any difficulty while trying to activate zong sim.

      1. Hello Mr Nabeel
        I have read your reply about the roaming that you can help the other guy to activate it for him while he is not in Pakistan. Same is the case with me. I am in KSA and my zong sim is not working here, perhaps the roaming is not activated. I would like you to help me in this regard. Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.
        Thanking you in advance.

  1. Dear Sir or Madam:
    I am an old customer of Mobilink and have been using Jazz connection from so long. On 07/07/2010, I got a telephone call from a representative of your company. His name is “Mr. Waleed” and is working in your head office Islamabad.
    He asked me to shift my number from Mobilink to Zong without changing my present number. He gave me the following incentives.
    1- The outgoing call rate would be Rs.0.67/minute any time any network.
    2- After activation of Zong sim, on first load of card of worth Rs.100/-, I will get 100 free minutes and 100 free sms. In this connection, he told that after loading such card, when I call to a Zong number, nothing would be deducted from my account unless and until I finish the 100 free minutes.
    I agreed and asked him the dispatch the sim, which he did and I got Zong sim on 13/07/2010. I activated the sim on 15/07/2010 and talked to a friend of mine having a Zong number but I was stunned when I checked my account balance after ending the call,
    1- The call was charged even if I called at a Zong number and I was not provided the free minutes.
    2- The call was charged at Rs.1.51/minute.
    To be very bold and straightforward, it’s the height of dishonesty and malafide attitude on part of Zong, such a high profile company. You are also doing the same, which the other companies are doing, cheating the customers. This is just because of lack of application of law in our country. I now simply request you as under:
    1- Provide me with the privilege, which I was told to be provided by your marketer namely Mr. Waleed.
    2- If you refuse to do it, then shift me again to my old service provider ie Mobilink.
    I hope to have a prompt and positive response; otherwise I will not only publish the matter in the newspapers but I also reserve my rights to pursue against you in a court of competent jurisdiction.

  4. I bought my zong sim in 2008. I used this sim for some months and then I was posted to a city where there was no zong service available. So I had to switch over to other service available there. Today on 15 Jun 2011, when I wanted to use my zong sim again, my phone gave me error message “sim registration failed”. What happened to it? Is it blocked? The sim is not registered in my name but I have complete packing of sim available with me. What should I do to make it work? Any suggestion?

  5. Hey! I am a Zong customer. A few days ago my phone had fell from me a couple times so something went wrong with it. Then it suddenly asked me for a PUK code, when I enetered it incorrect 10 times, it blocked my sim. So now what do I do? Get a new sim card or what?

    My name is DR erum . I want to give you a suggestion about Mobile Sim Activation through 789. I hope u will threw a glance on my suggestion seriously. When a customer call on 789 to active his sim the question for sim verification should be increased. .He should asked for his father and mother N.I.C no as well as his office,home, or any relative P.T.C.L number. because 90% P.T.C.L numbers are registered so that’s why no one can use the P.T.C.L number in fraud or terrorism.
    There should be 24 hour time limitation for a sim activation during this time mobile company make a verification call to customer given P.T.C.L no to confirm identity of this man who want to active the sim. If the customer is involved in any illegal activities or if he misuse the sim then in that case mobile companies will have the advantage of the record of this customer N.I.C and P.T.C.L number as well as other information’s. Because in the both new and old sim activation system which you are introducing mobile franchise can easily active the sims on giving sales target by mobile companies and on available N.I.C photo copy because only franchise are responsible for unknown active sims these are franchise who adopt right or wrong path to achieve the target. example in Saudi Arabia and many other countries no need of sim activation and any documents every year 25 lack to 35 lack Muslims go to saudia for haj and umrah he purchased mobile sims without giving any documents or sim activation he use and disposed sims every year but misuse of sims rate is 1% because there intelligence network is strong if mobile company received any complain from customer he proper investigate check history of customer calls and sms and if he found any prove of misuse then he block mobile sim plus mobile emi number so the misuser person got 2 loses sim block and mobile set block.
