The Bangladesh Mobile Phone Importers Association has established an IMEI database to facilitate the process of validating the genuineness of a handset. The process is based on the idea that a valid IMEI number should be unique and can be used to confirm the authenticity of a device. The default checking process is difficult and time-consuming, so the association has developed a tool to make the process easier. The tool is designed to find out whether a device is valid or invalid by cross-matching the IMEI number with the database.

The tool is capable of finding out the validity of a device in a simple and convenient way. It supports all the major sim operators in Bangladesh. The user can send a text message to any number, and the return text will confirm the identity of the number. The app is designed in a simple and user-friendly way.
