What is CEIR? How does this work?<\/h2>\n

CEIR serves as a common mechanism for all network operators to exchange data on blacklisted mobile devices, ensuring that blacklisted devices in one network will not work on another, even if the device has SIM card has been changed.<\/p>\n

CEIR is not like Google\u2019s Find My Device. To use the Find My Phone function, your phone or tablet must be turned on, signed in to a Google Account, connected to mobile data or Wi-Fi, visible on Google Play, and location and Find My device\u2019 must be on. In contrast, CEIR only uses the IMEI number to locate a lost or stolen mobile phone. The portal will aggregate data from telecom operators across the country, so there will be no need for an active internet connection or logging in with an ID.<\/p>\n
