The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has scheduled maintenance for the Device Identification, Registration, and Blocking System (DIRBS) to enhance operational efficiency and improve user experience.
The system will be temporarily unavailable from 7:00 PM on March 7, 2025, until 11:45 PM on March 9, 2025.
As a result, mobile registration services on the DIRBS website will remain inaccessible during this period. Users looking to register their mobile devices are advised to complete the process before the maintenance window to avoid any inconvenience.
This initiative is part of PTA’s ongoing efforts to enhance system performance, security, and reliability. By upgrading the DIRBS platform, the regulatory body aims to streamline mobile registration processes, minimize technical issues, and strengthen security protocols against unauthorized or unregistered devices.
The temporary service disruption is a necessary step toward ensuring a seamless and more efficient system for users across Pakistan.
PTA has urged mobile users, importers, and industry stakeholders to plan accordingly and cooperate during this maintenance phase. The authority remains committed to providing a secure and efficient digital infrastructure to support mobile users and telecom operators.
For further updates and inquiries, users can visit PTA’s official website or follow its social media channels. The authority appreciates public cooperation and apologizes for any inconvenience caused due to this essential maintenance.
Why Is DIRBS Maintenance Important?
DIRBS is a vital system for regulating and tracking mobile devices in Pakistan. It helps prevent the use of smuggled and counterfeit phones, ensuring only legitimate and PTA-approved devices operate on local networks. Regular maintenance ensures system integrity, robust security, and enhanced efficiency for mobile users.
The scheduled maintenance of the DIRBS system by PTA is a crucial step toward enhancing system efficiency, security, and user experience.
While the temporary unavailability of mobile registration services may cause minor inconvenience, this proactive upgrade will ensure a more reliable and seamless experience in the long run. PTA appreciates the cooperation of users and industry stakeholders and encourages them to stay updated through official channels.
