Under the regulation that will come into effect in 2024, the IMEI numbers of mobile phones that do not receive a signal for one year will be disabled. It has been announced that phones that are never turned on throughout 2025 will become completely unusable as of December 31. Experts emphasize that users only need to turn their phones on and off at least once to avoid any inconvenience.

With the implementation launched in 2024, the IMEI numbers of smartphones that have not received any signal for a year are suspended by the Information Technologies and Communications Authority (BTK). Last year, the IMEI numbers of millions of devices were shut down, and it has been stated that the same process will be repeated this year.

PHONES IN DRAWERS AT RISK

With the rapid development of technology, the lifespan of smartphones is getting shorter. As users frequently switch to new models, old phones are forgotten in drawers, shelves, or attics. However, these devices that do not send any signal for a year will become unusable by losing their registered IMEI numbers.

WARNING FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE VICTIMIZATION

Experts emphasize that it is sufficient for users to turn their phones on and off at least once to avoid being victimized. This way, the device sends a signal and protects its IMEI.

E-GOVERNMENT REQUIRED TO REUSE

To reuse phones whose IMEI has been suspended, an application must be made through e-Government. During the application, information proving that the device belongs to the end user is verified. As a result of the approved applications, the IMEI is redefined, and the phone becomes active again.
