What to keep ready before you apply for a phone on qist

You can apply on mobilistan.pk/apply from your own phone, or at any Mobilistan partner shop where the salesman fills in the same form with you. Either way, the questions are the same.

From you

• Your original CNIC. We take a photo of the front and the back. You need to be between 18 and 65.
• A selfie, taken right there in the form.
• A mobile number that has WhatsApp. We send a 6-digit code to it, and our team calls you on it.
• Your address, your work, and roughly what you earn in a month.

Someone who knows you

We ask for a guarantor, usually a family member: their name, how they are related to you, their mobile number, CNIC number and date of birth. They must be 18 or older and can’t use your number or CNIC. You don’t need their card with you, just the details.

We also ask for one more contact, someone we can call if we can’t reach you. Just a name and a number.

Three tips that save time

Take the CNIC photos in good light, flat on a table. Blurry pictures are the most common reason an application gets held up.

Tell your guarantor that we may call them, so they pick up.

Check the Qist Calculator first, so you already know which phone and which plan you want when you start.

You don’t need a credit card or a bank account. Here is how buying without one works, from applying to taking your phone home.

Two more things in the form

For your guarantor, the form also asks roughly what they earn in a month. You confirm that they know about your application and agree that Mobilistan may check their credit history with a licensed credit bureau.

One step is optional: you may add a JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank statement of the last 3 to 6 months, as a PDF. It helps our team review your application. One is enough, and you can skip the step.

What the form does not ask for

A credit card, a bank account or a salary slip. If you have no salary slip, read phone on qist without a salary slip.
