“The new system will provide ease & facilitation to the users who want to get mobile phone blocked incase it has been stolen, snatched or lost.” it further added.

The users will have to lodge a request with PTA through its online Complaint Management System (CMS) at www.pta.gov.pk. The complainant will receive a complaint reference number upon successful registration of the blocking request.

In case the phone is recovered, the same procedure will be followed to get it unblocked.
