Sick of “cheap copied Chinese mobile phones and accessories,” India is in process to ban the Chinese mobile handsets. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology says that it is moving to ban the sale of the cheap Chinese cell phones for security reasons.
According to the Government of India, the majority of the Chinese mobile phones do not come with an IMEI number, without which it is difficult to track a mobile phone. Terrorists take advantage of this loophole and often use these mobile phones for communication.
The Indian Cellular Association (ICA) says that the cheap Chinese mobile phones and accessories do not meet the safety standards as well. These devices come equipped with defective batteries which could blow up anytime, while charging or in users’ pockets. There have been a lot of such incidents in India.
The users of the Chinese mobile phones in India see the issue from other side; these people feel that the Indian government is moving under the influence of the mobile handset manufacturers, such as Nokia that are most affected by the cheap copied Chinese mobile phones and accessories, and do not want to see the fake Chinese mobile phones, such as Mokia, BlueBerry, or uPhone, in the Indian market.
There are volumes of Chinese mobile phone users in India. According to an estimate, between one million and 1.5 million cheap Chinese mobile phones are imported into India each month.
