FAQs
Which SMS number should I use to verify my August 2025 BISP payment?
By transmitting your 13-digit CNIC number from your own SIM to 8171, you may verify your payment.
If the gateway displays “under verification,” what should I do?
It indicates that your information is still being examined. If there is a significant delay, wait a few days or go to the closest BISP office.
Can I send an SMS to 8171 using someone else’s SIM card?
No. The system might not display accurate results if you send the SMS from a cellphone number that is registered in your own name.
