The government is incurring huge financial loses due to illegal landing of international calls into Pakistan also known as grey traffic. It is done through bypassing the legal routes for the international calls. A legal call coming into Pakistan should display correct number with correct country code.

Ministry of IT and PTA has taken numerous steps to address this issue.

To supplement further efforts of the Government, PTA has established a round the clock CallCenter to register complaints from public regarding this problem.

If you receive any international call with local (mobile/landline/WLL etc.) number appearing on  your phone please report that suspected number to following 24/7 PTA Call Center contacts:

Short Code: 8866 (Mobile phone subscribers can send suspected number to this short code through free SMS)

Toll Free No: 0800 55055

Landline number: 051 9207059
