The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has urged mobile users to activate the Balance Save, or PAYG Blocker, service on their SIMs to avoid unexpected balance deductions after their mobile data bundles expire.
Under the service, mobile internet access is automatically blocked once a subscribed data bundle is exhausted, helping users protect their remaining mobile balance from pay-as-you-go (PAYG) internet charges.

PTA advised consumers to activate the service by dialing the following codes:
Jazz: *275#
Zong: *4004#
Ufone: *6611#
Telenor: *342#
The telecom regulator encouraged users to activate the service to prevent unintended balance consumption and maintain greater control over mobile data usage.
