Vintage & Retro Technology Disclaimer

Vintage Batteries
Vintage mobile phones may include genuine/original batteries.
Due to their age, Vaultory does not guarantee the capacity, runtime, charging performance, longevity or future functionality of vintage batteries, even if the battery is functional when tested.
Battery degradation is a normal consequence of age.
SIM & Network Compatibility
A vintage phone's ability to connect to a current Pakistani mobile network is not guaranteed unless specifically confirmed for that device.
Network technologies, frequencies, SIM standards and operator requirements have changed considerably over time.
Some devices may also be locked to particular international or historical network operators.
If network functionality matters to you, please contact Vaultory before purchasing and ask us to test what can reasonably be tested.
Non-PTA Devices
Unless a product listing specifically states otherwise, Vaultory's retro/vintage mobile phones should be considered Non-PTA.
This means applicable PTA registration/tax has not been paid for local cellular use.
Any PTA registration, approval, tax, duty or associated cost required to use a device on Pakistani mobile networks is the buyer's responsibility.
Purchasing a collectible phone from Vaultory does not include a promise that PTA registration will be possible or economically practical for that particular device.
Collectible First
Many Vaultory vintage devices are acquired and sold because of their rarity, condition, design, history or collectibility—not because they are suitable replacements for modern everyday devices.
If you intend to use a vintage device regularly rather than collect/display it, please discuss your requirements with us before purchasing.
Buy it for its history. Preserve it for its future.
