Importance of PTA Registration
Over the past couple of decades, there was no practical concept of online database of mobile devices across the country. As a result, a lot of mobile phones were used in illegal activities around Pakistan. The situation got worse when mobile devices were used in terrorist activities. However, upon tracing, none of the illegally used devices could be found or traced.
To overcome this issue, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) came to action and made it mandatory for mobile devices to be registered in the online database of PTA. This way, the IMEI of devices remain in the official record of the state and can be tracked any time. Before you register your Google Pixel 5 with PTA, you may need to perform the PTA IMEI check on your device. By paying your Google Pixel 5 PTA tax, you can use your new device anywhere in Pakistan without landing into any trouble.
