On April 13 of 2017, Nepal Telecommunications Authority<\/a> (NTA) made the registration of new mobile phones mandatory for domestic dealers as well as individual importers. This includes the registration of either of these three: International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number or Electronic Serial Number (ESN) or Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID) of every mobile phone that gets imported. Such provision was introduced mainly to control the expanding grey market of mobile equipment in Nepal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since a specific mobile application isn\u2019t yet available for registering IMEI number of mobile sets, the importers (both individuals and dealers) are bound to fill forms from NTA website and directly e-mail the NTA or through fax or by visiting NTA office. In this article, we\u2019ll be mainly focusing on filling the form online from NTA website. First of all, let us dig deep into knowing what an IMEI number is.<\/p>\n

An IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number is basically a 15-digit number which acts as a unique identifier for a mobile phone.<\/strong> Since no multiple devices can have the same IMEI, it is a very useful tool for tracking lost or stolen cell phones. It can either be found on the silver sticker on the back of your phone, under the battery pack or on the box your phone came in. If none of the above mentioned helps, there are few ways to find the IMEI number of your phone.<\/p>\n
