CEIR (Central Equipment Identity Register)
The term ‘Central Equipment Identity Register’ refers to the tool used in the event of a lost phone. Although this portal has been operational for several months, its scope was limited to a few cities. It will now work throughout the country. You can use this portal if you lose your phone. Only in the case of mobile theft should you file a report at the nearest police station. The rest will be handled by this portal.
Immediately following your complaint, the portal will begin interacting with the appropriate agencies and telecom providers in order to block the lost mobile phone. You can also keep track of the entire process yourself. Because the portal is based on the phone’s IMEI, changing the SIM will have no effect. We have thoroughly explained the procedure. You can find out more by clicking here.
Know your mobile
Is it possible that your smartphone is fake? It could be used as a thief market item as well as a pre-used item. Duplicates of Apple’s iPhone and iPad, the market’s smartphone market leaders, are more visible. Other businesses are concerned as well. In such a case, knowing before purchasing is the best way to avoid it. Know Your Mobile is similar to KYC, which stands for ‘Know Your Customer’ in a bank. Whether your phone or tablet is new or old, you can find detailed information about both here.
- You will need the device’s IMEI number to learn more about it.
- If it is a new device, a 15-digit unique number will be written on the box and bill.
- If the device is older, open the phone app or dial pad and enter *#06#.
- Make a copy of the IMEI number
- Once you enter the number, you will see the smartphone manufacturer, brand, model, and device on the screen.
- Even if the device is blacklisted, will appear on the screen.
एएसटीआर
The third phase of the Sanchar Saathi portal is Artificial Intelligence and Facial Recognition, which is responsible for identifying fraudulent mobile customers. KYC will be a breeze with this artificial intelligence-based technology. Artificial intelligence can track down a mobile phone taken in your name anywhere in the country. Mobile phone users will also be able to view the number of mobile connections issued in their name. They will be able to report any fraudulent connections issued in their name.
For your information, the Sanchar Saathi portal assisted in the identification of 40 lakh fake mobile connections, with 36 lahks of these connections being closed. Isn’t it then a useful thing? Open it on your mobile device right away and save it. Thank you very much.
