Buyer protection
Test a phone before you buy it
Step-by-step checks for PTA and IMEI, iPhone and Android, battery, screen, cameras and water damage. Made for buyers in Pakistan.
Check PTA status before you buy
Dial *#06# on the phone to see its 15-digit IMEI, then check it with PTA. It is free.
The result comes from PTA, not from us. Saddar Mobile Market does not store the IMEI you type here.

about 3 minWhat this guide will not tell you
No website, including ours, can prove that a phone is genuine, not stolen or safe to buy. Only PTA can say whether an IMEI is registered or blocked in Pakistan. We link to official sources first and mark every third-party site. We never ask for your IMEI or serial number.
Dialer codes differ by brand, model and software version. Each code in our list says how sure we are and where it fails.
