Our result is supplemental. Send each 15-digit IMEI to 8484 or use DIRBS to confirm local compliance and registration.
| Network | What to verify | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|
| Jazz | PTA compliance, both IMEIs, 4G/VoLTE and imported-device status | Send each IMEI to 8484 and confirm model compatibility before inserting a local SIM. |
| Zong 4G | DIRBS status, regional model and LTE support | Verify every SIM-slot IMEI through DIRBS and compare the model with the listing. |
| Ufone 5G | Compliant, valid, non-compliant or blocked DIRBS response | Use 8484 or the official DIRBS portal; Ufone’s device-identification guidance also explains the response types. |
| Telenor Pakistan | Current account/network path, DIRBS status and model compatibility | Confirm current service guidance with the carrier and use PTA for the authoritative device status. |
A structurally valid IMEI is not the same as PTA approval. A device intended for a Pakistani SIM may require DIRBS registration and applicable duties.
Check both IMEIs against *#06#, Settings, the box and the DIRBS response. Do not buy when the model or associated IMEIs conflict.
A US, UK, UAE or other imported phone can be PTA compliant yet remain locked to its original overseas carrier.
Do not rely on a seller screenshot. Run a fresh DIRBS check yourself and retain the invoice, tax or PSID evidence where relevant.
Use PTA/FBR channels for registration and compliance. IMEI Check Pro does not collect duties or register a device with PTA.
Use both services: identify the phone and select the relevant report here, then confirm every IMEI through DIRBS before buying or importing it.
The Device Identification, Registration and Blocking System identifies non-compliant devices operating on Pakistani mobile networks and handles local registration status.
Dial *#06# and send each 15-digit IMEI to 8484, or use the official DIRBS service. Check both IMEIs on a dual-SIM phone.
