Mobile phone validation begins
The telecom regulator has started running a process to verify the validity of mobile phones from today to curb illegal mobile phone inflow and boost local mobile manufacturing and revenue collection.
Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) will launch the National Equipment Identity Register (NEIR) on a trial basis for three months, enabling it to disconnect unregistered phones from the network.
According to the BTRC, the mobile phones that customers are using now will have been automatically registered by yesterday.
From today, the registration will be completed through connecting the IMEI of the mobile phone with the customer s national identity card number and SIM number.
