PTA mobile registration system (DIRBS) to be unavailable for 3 days

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has announced a scheduled maintenance period for its Device Identification Registration and Blocking System (DIRBS) from 8:00 pm Friday, April 19, 2024, to 6:00 am Sunday, April 21, 2024.

DIRBS will not be accessible for mobile registration or associated operations during this period.

The PTA’s proactive action guarantees the system’s ongoing upkeep and improvement, which is essential for Pakistan’s device registration and banning.

The official statement issued by the authority said, “The PTA apologizes for any inconvenience caused and is committed to providing a seamless experience for its users.”

PTA had launched DIRBS for device identification and blocking smuggled mobile phones. The regulator had introduced the mobile registration system to keep track of all mobiles.
