Discontinued iPhone XS Costing Pakistanis PKR 1.3 Lac for PTA Approval

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has reportedly demanded a hefty fee of PKR 1.3 Lac from Pakistani citizens seeking to obtain PTA approval for a discontinued model of the iPhone XS. This has raised concerns among consumers who are now questioning the authority’s policies.

Recent reports claim that Pakistani consumers are paying high prices to obtain PTA permission for discarded iPhone XS handsets. According to reports, it will cost about PKR 1.3 lac to obtain PTA permission for these phones, which is a sizeable sum of money for the majority of Pakistanis.

In an effort to stop smuggling and illegal imports, it’s important to note that the PTA recently put tough controls in place for mobile phone imports. While these rules have reduced the amount of illegal imports, they have also increased the cost and difficulty for users to purchase specific types of phones. The high cost of PTA certification in the instance of the discontinued iPhone XS may be partially attributable to the PTA’s stringent rules and the fact that the phone is no longer manufactured.

Furthermore, a lot of Pakistani consumers are looking for alternatives, such purchasing used or refurbished phones, due to the exorbitant expense of obtaining PTA permission for discontinued iPhone XS handsets. The PTA has tightened down on the selling of unregistered phones in the nation, so even with these choices there are still hazards.

This has caused a lot of people to purchase unapproved phones, which can lead to expensive fines and perhaps legal action. As a result, a lot of Pakistani consumers are forced to make a difficult decision between shelling out a lot of money for PTA certification and running the danger of using unregistered phones.
