About this tool

Every phone has a 15-digit IMEI (dial *#06# to see it). The last digit is a check digit calculated with the Luhn algorithm, so a typo or a made-up IMEI usually fails the check. The tool also shows the Type Allocation Code (the first 8 digits, identifying the model) and can calculate the missing digit if you have only 14.

This is a format check only. Whether a phone is approved, blocked or unregistered in Pakistan is shown by PTA’s official DIRBS system.

How to use it

  1. Dial *#06# on the phone or read the IMEI from the box.
  2. Type the 15 digits.
  3. If valid, check PTA status by SMS to 8484 or on dirbs.pta.gov.pk.

Limitations

  • A valid format does not prove the phone is PTA-approved or not stolen.
