IMEI rules have been signed, this is the impact for users and traders
The rules regarding IMEI validation have now been signed by three ministries. Then how the impact for users and merchants?
The Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo), Rudiantara said that the signing of the IMEI rules from the three ministers was the first step for implementing IMEI validation. Because after this IMEI rule takes effect, each of the ministries will certainly carry out consolidation and socialization to the community.
This is the Fate of Black Market Merchants and Mobile Phone Users After IMEI Validation Rules Apply
Rudiantara has also ensured that there will be no impact from this IMEI regulation for the community. So the public is asked not to panic about the fate of the cellphones that are used now.
“Change is not on the customer side now. After six months there. That’s even if users bring cellphones from outside Indonesia,” he said at the Ministry of Industry’s office.
Then confirmed by the Minister of Trade (Menperin), Airlangga Hartarto. The system that we will use for the IMEI validation rules does not bother mobile phone users in the country at all.
“Mobile users will be safe, no one will interfere. Whether it’s purchased from within or outside the country,” said Airlangga at the same time.
When it comes to traders, both the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Trade, Enggartiasto Lukita will guarantee that they will not be disturbed. They will be given six months to spend on black market cell phones available in their stores.
“We give six months to spend the leftover black market cellphones, as long as they don’t get caught. It’s wrong to have entered a cell phone that doesn’t pay taxes. If you find out, your fate will not be good,” said Enggar.
