The Government of India has announced a new requirement for mobile devices recently. It is to have the 15-digit IMEI numbers disclosed before selling the mobile phones. This shall prevent the influx of unauthorized devices into the network. The CEIR system and telecom companies shall have access to the IMEI number and its linked cell phone number. The same is already being used in some states in India to track stolen or lost mobile phones through the CEIR system.
