In April, this year Windows Phone 8.1 announcement brought the news of Cortana, a personal assistant for Windows Phone (like the Siri in iPhone). At first it was only available to US and later expanded covering a few more countries over the globe but still Pakistan is not yet supported. Likewise many other are not yet supported for this feature.

Here we have a way to let Cortana run in Pakistan as well as in any region you belong to. Just follow below.
