Mobile internet near the Pakistan–India border is secondary to current crossing rules, permits, opening status and official security instructions.
A network signal does not mean a route or area is open, and roaming behaviour near a border can be confusing.
NoveSIM Pakistan plans are data-only and do not provide border permission or a local number.
Quick answer: Verify the crossing through current official sources, save documents and onward transport offline, keep manual network selection off and follow all local instructions before using mobile data.
