The process of registering the IMEI of each handset that a mobile manufacturer or importer produces or imports with a centralized database is known as IMEI registration. If a handset is lost or stolen, it can be identified and blocked, rendering it inoperable on any network.

As a result, registering an IMEI is essential to the fight against phone theft and safeguards consumers and businesses. It reduces the likelihood of consumers becoming victims of crime by providing consumers with peace of mind that their handset can be blocked in the event that it is lost or stolen. It helps businesses safeguard their mobile assets and ensure that employees can remain connected even if their handsets are stolen or lost.

IMEI registration is a necessary step for any manufacturer or importer because it is an easy and effective way to protect mobile phones and their users.
