How to register mobile with PTA for 120 days?

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) introduced a Mobile Device Identification, Registration, and Blocking System (DIRBS), which requires all mobile devices in Pakistan to be registered with the PTA. However, there was no specific provision for registering a mobile device for a temporary or 120-day period. Mobile device registration with the PTA is generally intended to be a one-time, permanent process.If you are looking for a temporary solution to use a mobile device in Pakistan for a limited period, you may consider the following options:

• Using a Temporary SIM Card:

• If you are a foreign visitor or have a short-term stay in Pakistan, you can purchase a temporary or prepaid SIM card from a local mobile service provider. These SIM cards are typically valid for a specified duration and do not require device registration.

• Using a Mobile Device with Existing Registration:

• If you already have a mobile device registered with the PTA, you can insert a local SIM card into that device and use it during your stay in Pakistan.

• Renting a Mobile Device:

• Some companies and businesses offer mobile device rental services for travelers. You can rent a mobile phone with a local SIM card for the duration of your stay.

• Wi-Fi Calling and Messaging Apps:

• You can use Wi-Fi calling and messaging apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or Viber to make calls and send messages over Wi-Fi without the need for a local SIM card.
