In January, TRCSL announced it would enforce IMEI registration to curb unregistered devices from January 29, 2025.

But despite the tough talk, nothing has been implemented. This isn't the first time they've made the same declaration and quietly backed out.

  2. 90% of Mobile Phones in Sri Lanka currently are unregistered ones. They won't be able to enforce it in the near future. Scammy phone shops in Liberty Plaza have to be closed first of all.
