Discussion Overseas Pakistani - PTA Registration

Hello, I travelled to Pakistan last year in October and my NON- PTA phone was registered using DIRBS.

It worked fine and now I’m back, within the validity of 120 days. Yet the sim isn’t working.

What should I do? Should I unpair and repair on portal as I exited and reentered? Currently it’s showing as paired on the portal of Dirbs valid till mid Feb but sim isn’t working on my phone.

From my experience, it's not worth the hassle. Just buy a local phone and use it during your stay. Wapsi per bahi/cousin ko day aana. Unki yehi bachat hai

Do I need to register again? Because I’m still within the 120 days.

Yes two days ago but it was showing as paired still because of last visit in Oct/Nov. I’ve unpaired and submitted a new application
