  • I am living in Oman and I followed the instruction of *789# and provided all required information but still not received confirmation message in more than 70 hours. Is confirmation message is necessary? How to make sure that my sim is verified ??

    • If it is registered against your name, then you will definitely receive the confirmation SMS. Otherwise, you can make a call to 111-333-100 for further assistance.
