How to approve Apple iPhone 13 All Models from PTA?
To begin with, PTA approval is tied to your unique identity, which means you can register your device using either your CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) or your passport. This process is crucial as it enables your device to be recognized and supported by the local cellular networks.
Here’s a breakdown of the steps and information you need to get your iPhone 13 series device PTA approved:
- Documentation Needed: Have your CNIC or passport handy. You’ll also need the IMEI number of your device. This can typically be found on the box of your iPhone or by dialing *#06# on the device.
- Registration Process: You can register your device through PTA’s DIRBS (Device Identification Registration and Blocking System). Access the system either through their website or by visiting a Customer Service Center.
- Payment of Tax: Based on the model of your iPhone 13 series, a specific tax is levied for PTA approval. The tax amount varies with each model and is also subject to change based on the current fiscal policies. Make sure to check the latest tax rates on the PTA website or at a customer service center.
- Activation: Once your device is registered and the applicable taxes are paid, your device will be activated, and you will receive a confirmation SMS from PTA.
It’s important to address this process promptly as using an unregistered device can lead to it being blocked on local networks. Registering with PTA not only legalizes your device’s use in Pakistan but also enhances your device’s security against potential misuse.
You can visit different PTA office locations in Pakistan cities to get help physically.
