DeepSeek API in Pakistan: PayPal doesn't work here, so what does?

Description and use

<p>PayPal doesn't work in Pakistan. Not "it's difficult" — it simply doesn't operate here. So every guide that tells you to "just add PayPal and top up" is useless to us, and most of those guides are clearly written by people who have never tried to pay for anything from Karachi.</p> <p>Then there's the other side: platform.deepseek.com wants a Chinese phone number and a payment method you cannot reach from here. OpenAI wants an international card that works on recurring charges. Good luck with that on a local debit card.</p> <p>So what actually works? Two things.</p> <p><strong>USDT, and hone
