Does SCom Sim Works on Non-PTA phones ?

Here Comes the most important question which most of the people ask that is scom network sim going to work in a non-pta or pta-blocked phones then the answer is yes.Scom network sim card works in a PTA blocked or non-pta phones and the reason for that is Dirbs system of PTA is not yet implemented at Scom network, so the sim card from scom works in a non-pta phone.

But actually what happens when you put scom network sim card in a phone which is outside from AJK or GB e.g. you are using it in karchi or lahore in a PTA blocked phone then the phone is going to get the signals from ufone network towers because of non availability of towers of SCom network in other cities.

So basically when you are using scom sim in other city you are roaming all the time and you are going to get charged for calls and sms charges even if you have a package from scom.Another thing is that the internet roaming is also available on ufone but it only supports 3G so you are going to get 3G all the times in your phone if you are using scom in any other city except AJK and GB.

Internet speed on Ufone 3G on scom network is not very good, we have tried it by ourselves and we didn’t like the internet performance on ufone 3G when using scom.

Latest updates about the Dirbs system implementation on SCom network (Sep 2023)

As per the recent update from PTA Dirbs system is in the final stage of deployment on scom Network in AJK and GB and it will be completed by end of sep 2023 and all of the non-pta phones or pta blocked phone are not going to work with scom sim cards.
