Here are 2 ways to find out if your cellphone has BM and is potentially blocked or not
The government through the Ministry of Industry has now confirmed that it will block illegal cellphones, aka black markets (BM) in Indonesia. In blocking these illegal cell phones, the government uses the IMEI number on devices that use SIM cards.

2. Check Postel Permits
In addition to checking the IMEI number, you can also validate the certificate number on each device.
With this certificate, it can be seen that the equipment has passed the radio transmission and reception test from the Directorate General of Resources and Equipment of Post and Information Technology (SDPPI) of the Ministry of Communication and Information.
Well, you can see the certificate number on the label of the packaging box and there is already information about the IMEI number.
If you have received information on the postel certificate number, you can enter it on the Kominfo website, click this link.
On that page, you only need to enter the certificate number. Then select the certificate number in the menu drop down first so as not to be wrong in searching.
If you have, some information will appear regarding the name of the product manufacturer, the name of the device, to the model of the device if the Postel certificate number is indeed valid.
Then adjust the information on the Postel site with the cellphone you have. If it doesn’t match, it could be that the cellphone you are using is a BM item.
