Invalid Mobile Phone Network is Being Disconnected

BTRC initiated the mobile phone IMEI code verification process in 2012 to prevent illegal methods and fake mobile phone imports in the country. And with the government's initiative, the state mobile regulator is going to dismantle these illegal mobile phones. The BTRC has called for tenders to supply and manage the National Equipment Identification Register (NEIR) technology to begin this verification process after about eight years.

It should be noted that in a BTRC press release last year, before the purchase of new mobile handsets, the handset was asked to verify the unique code of 4 digits. You can dial # # 06 # to find out your handset's IMEI number and SMS KYD <15 Digit IMEI number> to 16002 to verify if your handset is valid. BTRC says the mobile network and Bangladeshi SIM will not work on handsets that are fake, illegal imports, thefts and health risks when this process starts. Concerned about such initiatives to ensure public safety and prevent revenue loss. According to mobile business representatives, there are more than 3 crore illegal mobile phone customers in the country.
