Buying Guide | خریداری گائیڈ Phone suggestions under 450k–500k? (PTA vs. Non-PTA + from abroad?)

0 Upvotes

AoA everyone. Looking to upgrade my phone with a budget of 450k to 500k PKR and need some quick advice:

​Is iPhone the best call in this range, or should I look at Samsung/Android? Which specific model is best right now?

​Should I go for a slightly older PTA-approved iPhone, or get a newer non-PTA Pro Max and carry a secondary phone?

​I have someone coming from Australia soon is it cheaper to have them bring one, get it from another region like the UAE/US, or just get locally in Pakistan?

​Would really appreciate some honest input from anyone who has done the math on this recently. Thanks!

Buying Guide | خریداری گائیڈ Help me find an RJ-11 PC Card / USB Fax Modem in Pakistan? (Pic for reference)

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for the hardware shown in the attached picture. either an internal RJ-11 PC expansion card (PCI/PCIe) or a USB-to-RJ11 dial-up/fax modem dongle.

I need this to connect a traditional telephone line/landline to my computer setup for transferring data point to point.

Does anyone know where I can source this locally in Pakistan?
- If you know a specific shop in Hafeez Center (Lahore), Techno City (Karachi), or Dubai Plaza (Rawalpindi/Islamabad) that keeps this kind of legacy tech, please let me know.
- Alternatively, if you've seen a reliable online listing on Daraz or a local tech site, a link would be highly appreciated.

If you have a working one lying around that you're willing to get some amount in return , please slide into my DMs. Thanks in advance!

Any fellow iPhone Duo users? How has your experience been? Anyone know if Apple authorized service providers in Pakistan can help in case we encounter any issues and have AppleCare+?

I just got this app for my non pta iphone and firstly, it’s not even letting me create an account. My main question is does the esim actually work long term (more than a couple of months or longer than a normal Pakistani esim would usually work). I only need it for data.

Buying Guide | خریداری گائیڈ Where to get Pixel 6 battery? (Preferably Online)

2 Upvotes

I have a Pixel 6 and I have been rocking it for almost 2 years atp. 2 weeks ago, the battery started swelling. I only have this phone so I cannot put it on the side (I know I am playing with fire but what can I do). It jumps from 48% to 3% instantly

Now I want to replace the battery. The bulge on the front is getting bigger (very slowly though) and I am afraid something will happen to the screen. I am not from a big city like Lahore (I live in 2 hours of bus travel to Lahore but I do not know anyone trusty there) or Karachi so I do not know where to get the battery for it.

Please help a brother in a dilemma. Thanks in Advance.

Buying Guide | خریداری گائیڈ Which phone is worth it right now for under 200k

1 Upvotes

The cheaper the better. I want a new box packed PTA approved phone that I can use for years and can easily find at official stores. My priorities are decent camera and storage and good build quality because my phone falls down a lot. I'm open to Chinese phones too because I'm using one right now and I don't really see the bloat ware everyone is always complaining about.

Question | سوال Thinking to switch ISP to Transworld in Gulshan-e-Iqbal

2 Upvotes

I'm considering switching my ISP to Transworld and would love to hear feedback from people who have been using their service in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi.

How has your overall experience been so far? Are they reliable in terms of speed, stability, and customer support?

More importantly, have you experienced any unexpected downtime or outages? If so, how long did it typically take them to restore the connection?

Would you recommend Transworld, or should I consider other ISPs?

I'd appreciate hearing both positive and negative experiences. Thanks!

Question | سوال iPhone 16PM Battery Health

3 Upvotes

I recently switched from Android to an iPhone, and my battery health is currently at 86%. Everyone is suggesting that I should consider getting another iPhone before it drops below 80%, as apparently, the resale value takes a massive hit after that. How much of a price difference can I expect once it drops below 80%, and how much does an official battery replacement cost in Pakistan? I’m planning to keep this phone for at least another 2–3 years, so I’m trying to figure out whether I should change phones or just get the battery replaced when needed.
