Hi,
Many Chinese Mobile phones have fake IMEI number and as per directive of DOT, these will stop working after Nov. 30th.
Refer:
>http://www.dot.gov.in/as/2008/Requirements%20for%20Natilonal%20Security_10.10.08.pdf
So the BAD NEWS is many chinese phones will stop working after Nov.30.
However the good news is that GSM Association (GSMA) have found a way around the fake IMEI number problem. Users can get a genuine IMEI number implanted on their Chinese mobile phone including the i9 phone for a low fee of Rs.199/-
