Hafeez Centre at Main Boulevard, Gulberg III is Lahore's best-known market for mobile phones, laptops and gadgets — hundreds of shops under one roof. If you are coming here to buy a phone, this short guide from KARTIN (LG-03, Lower Ground, Hafeez Centre) will help you buy the right phone at a fair price, without the usual market stress.
What to check before you buy any phone at Hafeez Centre
- PTA status: Ask clearly whether the phone is PTA approved or non-PTA. A non-PTA phone will stop working on Pakistani SIMs unless the PTA tax is paid. Check any phone's tax free on our PTA tax calculator.
- IMEI check: Dial *#06# and verify the IMEI by SMS to 8484 or in the PTA DVS app before paying.
- Box and accessories: For a new phone, the box should be sealed and the IMEI on the box must match the phone.
- Receipt: Always take a proper shop receipt with the shop name, date and IMEI written on it.
- Exchange policy: Ask what happens if a fault appears in the first few days. At KARTIN every used phone comes with a 7-day warranty — if a fault that was not mentioned in the listing shows up within 7 days, we repair or exchange it.
