TRCSL to Ban Unregistered Mobile Phones and Devices

Date:

The Telecommunication Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) announced yesterday that mobile phones and communication devices not registered with the Commission will be banned in the country.

TRCSL Director General, retired Air Vice Marshal Bandula Herath, explained that this decision aims to curb the illegal smuggling of communication equipment, including mobile phones. To enforce the ban, the Commission plans to introduce an automated registration system by the end of January.

“It is the responsibility of the Commission to prevent the sale of such equipment to consumers, as people often face inconveniences after purchasing non-standard or non-compliant devices,” Herath stated.

The Director General reassured that mobile phones already in use within the country, as well as those brought in by foreign visitors, will not be affected by this program.
