  • I received an SMS that the IMEI of my device is not unique. What does it mean?

    This means that the IMEI code (international identifier for each subscriber unit) of your device is duplicated.
    The manufacturer of the subscriber device assigns a unique/original identification code (IMEI code) to its device. However, in world practice there are cases of manufacturing pirated versions of original devices. They may have a non-unique IMEI code, exactly the same as the original device.
    In the networks of telecom operators, there may be subscriber devices with the same IMEI code. Such IMEI codes are called non-unique or duplicate.
    According to the requirements of the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, from December 1, 2019, devices with non-unique IMEI codes are not subject to registration. At the same time, if you registered such a device earlier in the Ucell network, they will work.

    The IMEI code database consists of four lists:
    • white - registered codes; use of mobile communication services is permitted;
    • black - unregistered codes; use of mobile communication services is prohibited;
    • gray - the code is not included in the white or black lists, but access to mobile communication services is allowed for a period not exceeding 30 calendar days from the moment of the first network event;
    • linked white — the codes are cloned or not recognized, but are automatically registered with a bunch of IMEI code with the subscriber's phone number (IMEI - MSISDN) before November 1, 2019, or are new mobile devices that meet the requirements established by GSMA with the IMEI code entered in IMEI code database with another mobile device.

  • What happens after registering a mobile device?

    Registration by IMEI does not imply a name binding to the owner, i.e. after registering IMEI, the mobile device will work with all mobile operators of the Republic of Uzbekistan. When buying, you must check the IMEI code of the device. This applies to both new and used smartphones. If there is no IMEI code, then this is a “gray” smartphone and it is not recommended to buy it, because you will not be able to use it. It is not possible to register the phone independently in this case, because it must be done by the importer or manufacturer.

  • What happens if I do not register within 30 calendar days? (resident and non-resident)?

    After the registration expires, the mobile device will be blacklisted and blocked. For removal from the black list, the amount of payment will be 25% of the minimum amount (base calculated value).

  • Who can I contact for more information?

    In this case, we recommend visiting the Uzimei website or contacting the call center at 1170. You can also visit the main office located in the Almazar district, Sebzar massif, 18-A.
