Sun Online Desk 8th January, 2021 09:51:43
All the illegal, clone, and fake mobile phone handsets will be automatically blocked from networks starting from July 1.
Shyam Sunder Sikder, chairman of Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC), said this on Thursday during a press conference in the capital.
“The illegal handsets will be blocked from July 1, but we will not disconnect the ones which are in use now,” he said.
“However, all the new mobile phones will have to be registered before reaching the market.”
“BTRC plans to launch National Equipment Identification Registrar (NEIR) on July 1 this year. No illegal handsets will be allowed to be used in the country’s telecom network after that,” the BTRC chairman said.

Illegal, unregistered phones will be automatically blocked from networks starting from July 1, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission, BTRC has informed the media on Thursday. However, existing unregistered phones bought before July 1 will not come under this block to make the transition smoother, the newly appointed Chairman of the commission, Shyam Sunder Sikder further informed.
To identify whether a phone is imported legally or illegally, BTRC has entered into a contract with local IT firm Synesis IT. The firm is supposed to come up with a technological platform by June 9 to implement National Equipment Identity Registrar (NEIR), a process that will help identify illegal phones from legal ones.
