Update : We are getting loads of response from your end to register the IMEI numbers of Chinese Mobile Phones. Please note that we are not the authority for registering the IMEI numbers of China Made Mobile Phones. Any phone call concerning IMEI number registration shall not be entertained.

Now, perhaps everyone of you know that the mobile phones with invalid IMEI numbers are banned from making any call from today in India as they pose some serious security threats. More than 90 percent of the unbranded Chinese Mobile Phones are implanted with invalid or fake IMEI numbers which makes them impossible to be tracked on an operator’s network. The IMEI number is like a vehicle registration number and is provided by GSMA or Global Systems for Mobile Communications Association. Terrorists and other anti-social elements can no more misuse the fake IMEI handsets. If you want to check whether you IMEI number is Genuine or not you can verify this online.


The number has many other benefits as well. The 15 digit number prevents the use of stolen handsets by blocking them and allowing the security persons to track down a specific user who is using the stolen phone with his own SIM. DoT has asked operators not to allow calls for the cells without IMEI number after 30th November, 2009. The phones just disappear from the gray market and there is no billing or after sales services offered or demanded.

Where should I go for Genuine IMEI Implant?

If you have invalid IMEI number, visit msai.in to get the address of your nearest Genuine Service Provider in your State. Visit the authorized center with a valid identity proof and pay Rs. 199 to get a genuine IMEI number for your handset. But the sad part of the news is that the service is closed after 30 Nov.
