The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) is urging the public to purchase only mobile phones with IMEI numbers registered with the Commission as part of the implementation of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) Registration System.
In an official statement on their website, TRCSL highlighted that mobile phones with non-registered IMEI numbers will soon be unable to access Telecommunication Operators’ networks.
However, this restriction will not apply to IMEI-enabled mobile phones that are already connected to Telecommunication Operators’ networks before 28th of January.
