Due to the laws and regulations set by the PTA<\/strong> your phone can sometimes get blocked, but don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s not the end of the world. To unblock a phone blocked by PTA, all you have to do is go through this article and follow the directions.<\/p>\n

Why Did PTA Block Your Phone? <\/strong><\/p>\n

After some time of usage, if your mobile phone is not registered with PTA<\/a>, your phone will most likely get blocked. Registering your phone is essential as it helps PTA to keep track of the devices which have been imported legally<\/strong> and those that have been smuggled into Pakistan. In most cases, such phones that have been carried by the owner while traveling from abroad are unregistered with PTA<\/strong> and relevant tax must be paid to continue using them.<\/p>\n

\"UnblockUnblock Your PTA Blocked Phone<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can easily unlock a phone that has been blocked by the authorities:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the PTA official website by following this link<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. On the bottom right corner, you will see a menu. Choose the very last option \u2018Online Mobile Registration<\/strong>\u2019 to proceed.<\/li>\n
  3. Once you click this option, a new tab will automatically redirect you where you must create a new account and sign up as a new user.<\/li>\n
  4. You will be asked to provide your personal information such as your name, phone number, email address, postal address<\/strong>, city, passport number, CNIC,<\/strong> and a password.<\/li>\n
  5. Once you have filled in all the details in the form, your sign-up process will be complete.<\/li>\n
  6. You will be emailed an activation link through which you can get access to your account.<\/li>\n
  7. Log in to your newly created account<\/strong> and register your phone.<\/li>\n
  8. It is important to remember that you can only register one mobile phone free of cost in a year. Any other phones that you might wish to register, you will have to pay tax for.<\/li>\n
  9. You will also be required to add your IMEI number<\/strong>, which can be found on the phone box.<\/li>\n
  10. Once you have submitted the form, you will receive a text message on your phone providing you the details of your PSID<\/strong> number and COC ID<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  11. If there is any tax amount that you need to pay for your device, it will also be mentioned in the SMS<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  12. To complete the registration of your PTA blocked phone, you will have to pay the tax in any major banking branch of Pakistan such as MCB, ABL, or NBP,<\/strong> etc.<\/li>\n
  13. Upon payment, you will receive a text message indicating that your phone is now PTA approved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How Much Tax Do You Need to Pay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The tax calculation<\/strong> depends upon the price of the device you are using. Even if you have brought a used phone from abroad, the tax against it will be according to its current market rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
