Why PTA blocks your phone?
To improve Pakistan’s security, the PTA has blocked all unregistered phones. So, if the PTA confiscates your phone, it’s unregistered, and there’s a chance you’re using a substandard, fraudulent, or illegally imported phone. Due to PTA laws and regulations, your phone can be banned.
