The IMEI Blocking Rules for Cellphones Are Delayed Again, What's Up?

JAKARTA – Blocking rules International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) on the Black Market (BM) cellphone which is scheduled for August 31, is likely to experience a delayed schedule again.

This was confirmed by the Secretary General of the Indonesian Telecommunications Operators Association (ATSI), Marwan Baasir, who revealed that there were technical problems that had not yet been resolved.

“It may still be delayed because there are some technical matters that have not been completed,” said Marwan, when confirmed VOI, Monday, August 31.

  • IMEI Validation Rules Delayed Again, Ministry of Industry: Still in Process
  • XL Axiata Ready to Execute BM Cellphone ‘Dead Injection’ Regulation

The technical problem that Marwan referred to is the data merging process. He said that all data, both data on cellular operators and data on Imported Product Registration (TPP) and Production TPP, must be combined before the regulation is applied.

Contacted separately, Chairman of the ATSI Supervisory Board Muhammad Buldansyah was reluctant to respond to the postponement of the IMEI rules, as well as when asked how to question system preparation Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR).

“We have not received any news from the government. Try to ask the government directly such as the Ministry of Industry and Communication and Information Technology,” said the man who is familiarly called Danny.

Team VOI have tried to contact the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) and the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kemenkominfo), but have not received a response until this news was published. As is known, the regulation on blocking BM phones through IMEI was made by involving three ministries including customs and cellular operators.

So a cellphone whose IMEI number is not registered in the Ministry of Industry database will not be able to connect to the cellular network so that it cannot be used. The IMEI regulation was actually effective last April, but the implementation of when this rule will take place has not yet been carried out.
