There are ways. Common method being used nowadays is by using the passports of labourers who are returning from Middle East, or people who are returning from Umrah trips.

The passport data is sold for a fee, and one free phone is claimed with that passport info.

There are many people involved in this, including customs officers and travel agents.

Someone registered his phone on my brothers passport
Contacted PTA and they said

Sir, there is a guy "Momin Awan" already register his phone against this passport
Sir, kindly make a hard copy of below documents:
Cnic, passport, immigration stamp, application to director typeapproval for misuse of passport in device registeration.
Please send necessary documents to block already registered mobile.

Feel sad for this guy because his device will be blocked and whatever money he paid for registration will be wasted.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
