How Can I Purchase an Interest-Free iPhone 15 Pro Max with PTA Approval?
The procedure is straightforward. You must select an installment plan (3 or 6 months) and provide your CNIC and IMEI numbers from your iPhone 15 Pro Max.
These numbers can be located on the retail box or in the settings menu of the phone. You may also buy the service for many iPhones at once.
Alfa Mall will generate a request for PTA approval after your purchase is complete, and your phone should be authorized within 5 to 7 days.
Once your phone has been accepted, an Alfa Mall merchant will contact you to notify you that it has been approved. If you haven't received a call within 7 days, you can manually confirm the approval status of your phone on the PTA's official website.
You can also check by submitting your IMEI number via SMS.
Keep in mind that Alfa Mall states it could take up to 10-12 days for your phone to be PTA-approved.
