JV phone aur non-PTA phone mein kya farq hai?

Do masle, do alag jawab

Aik nazar mein farq: PTA ka taalluq is se hai ke phone Pakistan mein register hua ya nahi. Carrier lock ka taalluq is se hai ke phone banane ya bechne wale operator ne use apne network se baandh rakha hai ya nahi.

• Non-PTA phone: PTA ke DIRBS FAQ ke mutabiq local SIM lagne ke baad 60 din service milti hai, phir registration ke baghair nahi. Roaming par chalne wale phone is se bahar hain.
• JV ya carrier-locked phone: us ke apne operator ke ilawa kisi ki SIM ya eSIM kaam nahi karti. Ye PTA ka maamla hai hi nahi.
• Dono ek saath bhi ho sakte hain: bahar se laya gaya locked phone, jo yahan register bhi nahi.

Hamari data eSIM pehli soorat mein chalti hai, doosri mein nahi. Is liye khareedne se pehle dono cheezein alag alag check kar lena zaroori hai.

PTA wala check: phone registered hai ya nahi

PTA ke apne bataye hue teen tareeqe hain, aur teenon muft hain:

• IMEI likh kar SMS karein 8484 par.
• Phone se USSD code *8484# dial karein.
• PTA ki DVS website par IMEI daal kar status dekhein.

PTA ka mashwara ye bhi hai ke jis phone mein do IMEI hon, un dono ka status alag alag check karein, aur khareedte waqt status "PTA Compliant/Registered" hona chahiye.

Lock wala check: phone kisi network se bandha hua to nahi

iPhone par Apple ka apna raasta hai: Settings, phir General, phir About. Wahan Carrier Lock ke saamne jo likha hai wohi jawab hai; "No SIM restrictions" ka matlab phone unlocked hai.

Apple ye bhi saaf likhta hai ke phone sirf wohi operator khol sakta hai jis se wo bandha hua hai; Apple khud nahi khol sakta. Yani bechne wale ka "baad mein khul jayega" kehna kaafi nahi.

Android par sab se pakka aur aasan test ye hai: kisi doosre network ki chalti hui SIM us phone mein daal kar dekhein. Signal aur internet aa gaya to phone khula hai; "SIM not supported" jaisa paigham aaye to bandha hua hai.

eSIM wala check: phone mein eSIM ki sahulat hai ya nahi

Teesri cheez, aur is ka lock ya PTA se koi taalluq nahi: phone mein eSIM ka chip hai bhi ya nahi.

Hum ne har model alag alag check kar ke phone ki list banai hai; apna model wahan dekh lein. Phone par khud dekhna ho to EID number ki mojoodgi ka matlab hai ke eSIM ki sahulat hai.

EID kahan milta hai, ye banane walon ne khud likha hai: iPhone par Settings, General, About mein; Pixel par Settings, About phone, phir SIM status mein. Dial pad par *#06# bhi kai phones par yehi maloomat dikha deta hai, lekin Apple aur Google ke apne safhaat is code ka zikr nahi karte, is liye upar wala raasta zyada bharosemand hai.

Khareedne se pehle, ek chhoti si list

• IMEI ka status 8484 par check kar lein (dono IMEI, agar do hain).
• Lock check kar lein: iPhone par Carrier Lock, Android par doosre network ki SIM daal kar.
• Model hamari phone list mein dekh lein ke eSIM chalti hai ya nahi.
• Shak ho to khareedne se pehle hum se pooch lein; phone ka poora model likh dein.

Sawal jawab

Sirf internet chahiye to

Data-only plans Rs 380 se shuru hote hain. Pehle apna phone check karein: agar us mein eSIM nahi chal sakti to hum paise lene se pehle bata denge.
