As part of the combat measures taken, 64,548 IMEI codes have been given the “clone” status and blocked to date. These IMEI codes have appeared on the network with subscriber IDs belonging to 1,598,524 mobile numbers in the last three months. 1,506,090 attempts to connect to the network with these IMEI codes were rejected by the Mobile Device Registration System (MCQS) owned by “AzInTelecom”.
“AzInTelecom” LLC regularly monitors and conducts a detailed investigation of IMEI codes suspected of being copied. The copied IMEI codes are given the “clone” status and their use is restricted.
According to the "Regulations for the Registration of Mobile Devices" approved by the Cabinet of Ministers, the IMEI codes of mobile devices imported to Azerbaijan from abroad must be registered within 30 days in order to be used in the country's telecommunications network. It is possible to check the authenticity of the IMEI codes of mobile devices on the mygov portal.
