Essentially, it is an automated means of registering mobile devices with the authority to curb the smuggling and illegal use of phones. Naturally, a lot of people have a lot of questions about the system, and if you are one of them, you\u2019re at the right place. Stay with us as we answer some of the trickiest questions and queries that have been worrying you about <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/pta-mobile-registration.html\" target=\"_blank\">PTA mobile registration<\/a> via DIRBS and its process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is DIRBS by PTA?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Device Identification, Registration, and Blocking System, known as DIRBS, is a framework launched by the PTA in early 2019 to curb the smuggling of illegal phones in the country and ensure that all the phones used were legally registered and verified by the authority. This step also ensured that stolen phones were traced upon resale and often returned to their owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ease and functionality offered by PTA\u2019s DIRBS are expected to bring healthier growth to the cellular phones sector, with only legal imports being allowed after registration of the devices. This will preserve resources of the mobile operators, give better security to the people as a whole, and also be a means of generating more revenue for the FBR as the PTA mobile registration fee paid for each device differs as per its IMEI or model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Device Verification System (DVS)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While DIRBS is the framework launched by the PTA, it is actually applied via the Device Verification System (DVS), making it a means to an end. There are several ways to verify mobile registration in Pakistan using DVS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use DVS for Mobile Registration Verification?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The three major ways to verify mobile registration in Pakistan are via:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>SMS<\/li><li>Online<\/li><li>Android App<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s discuss <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/E5Qa-Dq_-zk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">how your device registration can be verified<\/a> using each method below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SMS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can verify device registration by following the steps mentioned below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to the text message app on your phone.<\/li><li>Compose a new message<\/li><li>Type in your 15-digit IMEI number without any spaces or dashes<\/li><li>Send it to 8484<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the reply you should get if your phone has been successfully verified:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Image-01-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"PTA Verification Message\" class=\"wp-image-91730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Image-01-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Image-01-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Image-01-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Image-01-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Image-01-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Image-01.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Send a Message to 8484 to Check Your Verification<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you receive any other reply than the one above, you should get your phone registered within 60 days of using it with a local sim to avoid getting it blocked.
