Established by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC), the National Equipment Identity Register is a central database designed to ensure every mobile handset in Bangladesh is legally accounted for.

How does the NEIR BTRC System Work?

The NEIR system operates through a sophisticated synchronization between the central BTRC database and individual Mobile Network Operators (MNOs).

  • Network Capture: When a SIM is inserted, the network captures the device’s unique 15-digit IMEI number.
  • Database Cross-Check: The operator’s Equipment Identity Register (EIR) immediately cross-checks the IMEI against the central NEIR database.
  • Validation: If found in the official “White List,” the device continues service. If not, it is flagged as Grey or Blacklisted.
  • Real-time Blocking: Stolen reports trigger a nationwide block, preventing any SIM from working on that specific hardware.
