Why Did PTA Block Your Phone?
After a while, your phone would likely be blocked if your mobile phone is not registered with PTA. Therefore, you must register your phone, allowing PTA to record devices legally imported and imported into Pakistan. In most cases, those mobile phones taken from abroad by the owner are not registered with PTA, and the applicable tax must be paid to continue using them.
