The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has decided not to block mobile phones with unregistered IMEIs until May 19 in an effort to provide relief to people amid the coronavirus lockdown.
A statement issued by the authority said it has "extended the blocking of IMEI deadline to an additional 30 days for all GSMA valid device IMEIs seen on mobile networks but currently not registered with PTA".
It added that blocking of unregistered IMEIs will begin from May 19 and will be communicated through SMS.
