Islamabad (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 05th June, 2020) Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has further extended the deadline for blocking of mobile device IMEIs till 3rd July, 2020 for all GSMA valid IMEIs seen on mobile networks but currently not registered with PTA.
The extension has been given to provide relief and facilitation to the public and ensure social distancing during this difficult time.

As per regulations, all mobile devices being connected to local networks using local SIM are subject to registration within 60 days from first use of device on local mobile networks in Pakistan.
