The Growth
DIRBS (Device Identification Registration and Blocking System) was created and deployed by PTA (Pakistan Telecommunications Authority) on December 1st, 2018. Compliant Devices are legitimately imported devices that have had their IMEIs registered on DIRBS at the time of import. The technology is intended to detect non-compliant mobile devices on local networks.
PTA has also begun barring consumers who comply with appropriate authentication from having their gadgets stolen or robbed.
