A friend of mine is bringing a phone for me from Dubai. It’ll be the only phone he’ll be carrying so there won’t be any tax on it as per PTA but I can’t find any information on DIRBs/PTA website what it costs to register a phone/IMEI at the airport for using the phone in Pakistan. Or is it free? Can something enlighten me please? Thanks in advance!

All phones Will keep working till 25 (Extended Date), After that, you have to register it through Portal which PTA is launching on 25th January. If its single phone, most likely it will be exempted from duty.

As per FBR policy, It is Only ONE phone free of charge for international Traveler PAK in a year!
Ok, and if a friend brings a phone for me, can I register it on my passport number instead of his? (I have a valid passport but no Visa)

If you haven't travelled, then you can register but you WILL be charged duty.

It's only one phone free if you've travelled in the last 60 days.

Better to use his details instead of yours if you haven't travelled abroad on your passport in the last 60 days! as murtaza said.

    The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
