Earlier, the SMS charges to check the votes were Rs2+tax.

Moreover, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) earlier requested the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to end SMS charges during the voters’ verification campaign.

The commission wrote a letter stating that the voters and ECP staffers are facing difficulties while sending SMS at 8300. ECP asked PTA to make the verification SMS free of cost during the ongoing campaign of voters’ verification campaign.
