Pakistan’s telecommunications company (PTA) has provided this very good and excellent service to the people of Pakistan. Earlier, when mobiles were stolen or snatched, people did not know how to block their mobile phones at all and thus the theft of their private data became a big problem for them. Mobile phone theft, incidents, and snatching were on the rise in Pakistan. But since the launch of such services by Pakistan’s telecommunications company PTA, there has been a sharp decline in such crimes.
