Clamp-down on Chinese handsets over security issues

THE INCREASING use of mobile phones by terrorists has forced the government to clamp down on the import of mobile phones, particularly those from China which do not declare the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers.

On Tuesday, minister of state for Home, Sri Parkash Jaiswal, in a written reply told the Lok Sabha that government has notified the customers to import the phones only after declaration of IMEI numbers.

It was also stated that the Department of Telecommunications has asked all the service providers to set up a Equipment Identity Registry so that calls by GSM handsets without IMEI numbers and from CDMA handsets without Electronic Serial Number (ESN) are rejected.

The government, however, informed that there was no proposal of regulating the manufacture and sale of mobile phones. The government has been forced to take this step after it was found that terrorists were increasingly using the Chinese mobile handsets, which carry no IMEI or ESN numbers. A large number of mobile phones originating from China do not carry the identity numbers.

An IMEI is a unique 15-digit code that identifies each mobile and is used to track stolen handsets. Unauthorised calls can also be blocked by the operators if these are illegal by blocking the IMEI code.
