To maintain Pakistan's most trustworthy smartphone marketplace, all members must strictly adhere to our core device listing and transactional rules. These rules prevent fraudulent representations and guarantee transactional safety.
1 PTA Registration Status Disclosures
It is strictly mandatory to disclose the exact PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) registration status of any device listed. Listings must choose one of the following official classifications:
PTA Approved: The device is officially registered with the PTA, and standard network SIM cards function permanently.
Non-PTA / Unapproved: The device is not registered. Tax and duties are unpaid. The buyer understands SIM access is blocked or will expire.
PTA Registered / Bypass: The device operates via specialized network bypasses. This status must be accurately declared.
Blocked: The device's IMEI has been blocked by the PTA due to theft, loss, or unpaid levies.
Zero-Tolerance Policy on Stolen Devices
Listing stolen, lost, or PTA-blocked phones is strictly prohibited. We coordinate directly with local law enforcement and share logged seller accounts, telephone numbers, and coordinates if stolen handsets are uploaded.
2 Spec Integrity & Originality Declarations
Sellers must declare all repair, original parts, and component replacements before posting.
Authentic Hardware: The smartphone listed must be authentic. Selling clone, dummy, or high-copy handsets as original is an immediate permanent ban.
Hardware Disclosures: Sellers must declare exact RAM size, internal storage, color, and repair history (e.g. "Screen replaced", "Battery changed").
3 Safe Meeting Protocols
Since mobiling.pk is a local listing classified directory, transaction checkouts take place offline. We strongly advise both buyers and sellers to enforce safety checkouts:
Public Meeting Spots: Only meet in public, crowded, and well-lit commercial spots (e.g. shopping centers, active markets). Never meet in secluded areas or private homes.
Physical Handset Auditing: Buyers must physically audit the phone. Inspect the screen touch responsive scales, verify the cameras, insert your SIM card to test calls and cellular networks, and verify the IMEI number by dialing *#06#.
