Every mobile handset has to be registered just like the SIM.
Sims registered with one name cannot be used in one registered register. The Bangladesh Telecommunications Regulatory Company (BTRC) is taking steps to prevent the huge amount of mobile handsets being sold in the market by tax evasion.
BTRC says that about 20 to 5 percent of the mobile handsets sold every year in the country are entering the market with tax evasion in a dishonest way. As a result, the government is losing Rs.
Brigadier General Nasim Parvez, director general of the BTRC Spectrum Division, told the media that illegal imports, theft and fake handsets can be prevented through registration, security of customers can be ensured, mobile phone accounts can be kept. Finally, it will be possible to prevent loss of government revenue.
In the process of registration, a valid phone database will be created with the IMEI number of all handsets being legally imported and assembling or producing locally. Each active set will be covered by registration through the Equipment Identification Registrar (EIR).
If you activate your registered SIM set for registering the user's handset, the set will be registered automatically under that name. However, if you want to use the second SIM in the same set, then the SIM must be registered under the same name.
If a person has more than one set, he will activate the other set which will also be registered by the same name as the SIM registered. Any sim registered under another name on that set will no longer work. That is, if the SIM and set are not registered with the same name, the SIM will not be active on that set.
The database of the registered set will be divided into three categories; Black, White and Gray. The 'White' here is legally imported and legally made in the country.
'Gray' is a clone, unauthorized duplicate, illegally imported handset. They will be validated initially and the set must be activated with a registered SIM.
And 'Black' is a stolen handset, expired IMEI set, fake IMEI handset. A lost or stolen phone can be locked; Which no one else can use.
The BTRC is working to determine what the whole process will look like. Naseem Parvez said the matter would be formally reported to the media when the entire process was ready.
