Help needed please

[Islamabadiya]

Guys please help me help a family member who ha asked me about PTA mobile policy for overseas people, so this person visited Pakistan few months ago and spent about 20 days and left, so when the same person goes to Pakistan again, will PTA have blocked that phone which was used for 20 days on the last visit ? Does PTA have an ‘out’ system for the IMEI numbers as well when an overseas person leaves country?

Are you sure ? Because an overseas person enters Pakistan the system starts its 2 months grace period of one month whichever it is, but does the system know that the same IMEI has left the county now ? I highly doubt it, I think the system might keep that IMEI number as ‘in’
But I hope you are correct

 

[islamabadi]

If the stay is under 30 days it wont be blocked. I would also like to know which other country in the world blocks mobile sets purchased from outside? Only PTI's Naya Pakistan

After 60 days whenever you go back to Pakistan it will be blocked. They keep IME no in system. My uncle came to Pakistan with same phone which he use there for over two months 2nd time it was blocked at the airport.

Register your phone at the airport. I visited Pakistan from Canada three times in last two years; I registered my phone at airport and no problem. I can use my phone.

This is exactly what I was asking
So it means if an overseas visits second time, the phone won’t work ?
This is so stupid policy

Ok I will pass this info, but that person has already visited once and did not register phone as was stating less than 30 days
What are the options now ?

Yes brother, no choice every time we get trapped by these corrupt and incompetent politicians who promise change and make an ordinary Pakistani's life hell.

phone will work only if you register your phone at the airport. At Islamabad airport there is PTA counter; give them your phone make and model with imei; they will register the phone on your name and passport number.It took only two minutes when I went there

ایسا ہی مسئلہ میرے ساتھ بھی ہو چکا ہے، میں اپریل میں ۳ ہفتوں کے لیے پاکستان گیا تھا اس ٹائم میرا سیل فون کام کرتا رہا، پھر دوبارہ میں اگست میں پاکستان گیا تو ائیرپورٹ پر سنگنل نہیں آرہے تھے میں نے سوچا شاید سم بلاک ہو گئی ہے پھر جب دیگر سم کارڈز بھی ڈال کر دیکھا تو پتہ چلا مسئلہ فون کا نہیں ہے بلکہ پی ٹی ایم والوں نے فون ہی بلاک کر دیا ہے، پھر جب پی ٹی ایم والوں کو فون کھڑکایا تو آگے سے جواب آیا کہ فیس جمع کرواؤ اور فون کھل جائے گا

اس لیے فیس جمع کروائے بغیر کوئی حل نہیں، اور سیٹیزن پورٹل میں بھی اس ٹائپ کی کمپلین کروانے کا کوئی آپشن موجود نہیں

شارٹ ٹور پر جانا ہوتا ہے اس لیے محکمہ والوں کے چکر نہی کاٹے سوچا سیٹیزن پورٹل پر شکایت درج کروا دوں گا شاید مسئلہ حل ہو جائے مگر وہاں اس طرح کی شکایت درج کروانے کا آپشن ہی موجود نہیں ہے

Not any more

There you go. It tells your story. You do not follow the rules but you blame others. They ask you to register the phone at the airport. So do it.

You do not register your phone at the airport because you are afraid they will charge you $$$ at the airport. Stop doing the chakar bazi. Fully follow the rules. Cry only when you follow the rules and still gets ripped off.

No one was available at the counters the above person said
Secondly it’s about frequent travellers who come in and go out spending less than a month

there was nothing at the airport, they told me to do everything online. I tried online and they are asking me 45k to pay. WTF? As far as I remember, one phone free registration is allowed for overseas pakistanis?
