China-made mobiles will go dead soon

April 3rd, 2009 3:38 pm by Jinx

BANGALORE: China-made mobile handsets that have flooded the grey market are to be phased out within the next 10 days. These handsets are seen as a security threat, prompting the move.

The department of telecommunication has sent a communication to Cellular Operators Association of India asking them to block services to handsets that have 15-digit International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers. It is only the Chinese mobiles that have 15-digit numbers; other handsets come with 16-digit IMEIs
