The Council of Federation of our country has found another way to complicate the life of Russians today: he approved the bill to control the trafficking of grey and stolen smartphones. Such devices will be blocked by IMEI and using them will not succeed.
But, if in the case of stolen handsets, the new bill goes public favor, in the case of gray machines, quite the opposite: if the document will enter into force, all orders from China mobile phones fall into the blacklist and will be blocked by the operators. In other words, no longer can you buy a smartphone Xiaomi, bypassing the local retailers with their equine charges.
However, there is one relief: ordered to China or another country your phone will need to register at the salon or through a special portal, but you can be sure that working this system, like all the latest innovations, will be known as. Effective date of the bill into force is not yet established, so, if you want to buy a phone from China, it is better to implement it as soon as possible. We also add that there are applications for substitution IMEI, so all is not lost.
