PTA approved or non-PTA iPhone 18 Pro Max: what to check
- Official PTA approved units come through Apple's Pakistan distributors with local warranty and work on every network.
- Non-PTA units are cheaper up front, but they stop working on Pakistani SIMs unless you pay the PTA tax through DIRBS.
- Check the IMEI on the phone (dial
*#06#) and verify it on DIRBS before paying. A seller's “PTA” label is a claim, not proof.
Read the non-PTA meaning guide and the PTA tax guide and calculator before you buy.
