Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has started to block nearly 3 million smartphones and feature phones deemed illegal.
As per PTA records, there are as many as 2.8 million smuggled or non-custom- paid smartphones in the country, a source familiar with the matter told ProPakistani.
According to the source, these phones will be blocked in several phases, and that the process has already started on 30th April.
The source further stated that the phones on the block list are the ones which were not registered with the Device Identification Registration and Blocking System (DIRBS) despite multiple extensions in the deadline.
It mainly includes handsets which were smuggled into the country after the second deadline was announced by PTA (5th January 2019) and were meant to be blocked in case of non-compliance.
What Is DIRBS?
DIRBS is a Device Verification and Blocking System recently launched by PTA. The system will help to block all smuggled and unregistered smartphones as well as feature phones in the country.
How to Get Your Phone Unblocked
Once a non-compliant handset is blocked, it cannot be used in the country again until it is registered with the DIRBS. So, if your phone is blocked, you’ll have to pay the requisite taxes to get it unblocked.
-
- Go to this website: http://dirbs.pta.gov.pk/
- Click on the ‘DRS’ tab on the top right corner.
- Sign up with your original name, email ID and CNIC.
- Enter Handset model & and pre-calculated tax/duty will appear on the screen.
- Pay the tax and get your phone unblocked.

RIP PTA
Govt is fail to collact tax from this projact. A new head of KANCHAA bribe is created. Most of them will be use clone which is much dangarnce then smuggling. A huge tax can be collected just implement a reasonanle amount i.e 2000 per use mobile and i can gurantee Govt will collect Multi billions under the above stated. Other wise roteee haee ge 1 single penny nahi milni.
Specially in Karachi, Most talented people already open Blocked IMEI.

aur agar aap apni tax return yahan share kr den to pata chale aap kitne bare tax payer aur mulk k hamdard hain
Ye bgharti srf Pakistan me e ho skti hai
Corrupt government trying to rob common people. I got Iphone Xsmax for Doha. Came to Pakistan and they said me at the airport you can bring one device without duty in a year. So I started using it and than I started getting deadlines. These f**kers gave me a notice of 67000 rs tax despite the fact that as per rules it should have been registered by them. The tax is way too much and so I had to send it back. I haven’t paid the tax and will advice you too not to pay it. Just send the device back. They are trying to loot us in every possible way they can. RIP dirbs system. Major drawback of this government. They have failed in this project. We are more cunning than PTA. Won’t pay the tax?
Story does not ends here, I am an overseas pakistani, no one want to send their savings to country, any time govt can declare it black money.people who never ran a vegetables shop now playing with pakistan economy. May Allah save pakistan.

Anyone who knows how to use a computer and have an internet connection can easily change the IMEI, just have to do a little research that’s all.

is se phone unblock hojaega?
My phone got blocked and had the worst experience of my life with a dribs system that was not properly tested. The help line provided is busy 9 to 5 and then no response post that no matter how much you try. I tried around 56 time. No email response despite sending emails to PTA on almost all the emails. After the registration is done on dribs my phone is still blocked without any response. I have been informed by my mobile operator to fly to islamabad to start the negotiation with pta. I dont know what to do with no end in sight. Thank u pta thank u pti
I have some how managed to get my phone registered with Dribs however my phone is not activated. I visited the Office of PTA and they didn’t share any information except a list of email. I complained that none of the helpline is working. They confirmed that is a lie. I requested them to check themselves which they didn’t and someone disconnected the phone. Rather than feeling sorry they still were admant that the helpline is not supposed to work. I requested that why they have activated a system which has bugs. They said it is not their duty to test bugs. It is the nations responsibility. Thank u PTI thank u PTA.
> They said it is not their duty to test bugs. It is the nations responsibility.
WTF? JAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.
Same here bro. My phone got blocked too. Their helpline is always busy. All they want is tax. This system sucks and so do the government

Itna tax dene se acha banda utne hi peso ka koi dusra PTA approved smart phone lele.
Pathetic from Govt
PTA made a big mistake, the tax charges are too high, they should charge Rs 1000 to 2000 depending on mobile set, currently i checked my iphone x, it written that 65000 is required to register, which stupid will pay this????
I had Xsmax and my tax is 68000 and my phone has been blocked by them. No one will pay such a huge tax
In 5000 ur cellphone will be pta approved contct 03365504224

I just bought pixel XL( Verizon) for 24000 . And I got msg to register it with PTA. They asked me to pay the tax amount of 36000. Most moronic system of tax calculation. Where as mobile is sold by Amazon in 150 USD new Verizon version.
My mobile was pta registered when I checked last year and suddenly they bind with one number. Calling helpline is useless. I tried to pay tax through portal but it shows an error, imei already exist in system.
uuuffffffff..
Funny stuff, one of my dual sim mobile shows Pta approved in first imei and need to pay duty for second imei. PTA.. ********************
well PTA clearly stated that it will be for each SIM slot. This means you never used the second SIM in Pakistan.
