The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority's official app for checking whether a phone is PTA-approved before you buy it. Type the 15-digit IMEI (dial *#06# to find it) or scan its barcode, and the app instantly reports PTA-approved, non-PTA or blocked status from the official DIRBS database. Pros: official source with no login or data collection, tiny 7MB size, and Urdu support. Cons: it only checks status — registration and tax payment still go through the DIRBS portal, and it has not been updated since February 2025. Best for anyone buying a used or imported phone in Pakistan, plus shopkeepers who verify handsets daily.
