- Nepal’s telecom regulator has deactivated mobile SIM cards on 804 iPhone 15 sets operating in the country over the last two days after they were found not registered with the newly implemented mobile device management system (MDMS).
MDMS, a system that tackles the illegal import of mobile phones, was fully implemented on last Sunday, after several years of planning.
“In the first phase, we have deactivated mobile SIMs of the most expensive phones,” said Achyuta Nand Mishra, deputy director of the Nepal Telecommunications Authority.
“The mobile sets not registered in MDMS will be eventually blocked.”
The regulator issued a notice on October 21 asking users in Nepal to register their mobile handsets within 15 days.
“We had sent text messages to the owners of the unregistered phones before taking the action,” Mishra said.
The users will not be able to make voice calls and send text messages through the mobile sets using Nepali SIMs, Mishra said.
The action will continue in phases.
According to the telecom authority, all foreigners entering Nepal are required to register their phone sets if they stay in Nepal for more than 15 days. Their mobile will be permitted to operate as per the visa period after the registration.
The mobile phone sets brought from foreign countries for personal use for temporary stay and have completed customs clearance are being registered in MDMS automatically.
If the phones brought from foreign countries are not customs-cleared, users can register the devices with MDMS by submitting a passport or citizenship document.
The authority said that other options for customs clearance include providing documents such as arrival or departure stamps on the passports or boarding passes.
If the phone sets are imported through the official channel, the importing company or dealer would register the IMEI number.
