Abans promotes TRCSL approved smartphones in Sri Lanka

The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) has announced that unregistered telecommunication devices equipped with a SIM card will be deactivated within the Cellular Mobile Telephone Operator’s Network. 

The public is strongly advised to avail services exclusively from dealers who possess a vendor license issued by the TRCSL. 

In accordance with the directives of the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL), it is crucial for consumers to choose mobile phones that have received approval from the commission. TRCSL emphasises the necessity of verifying the IMEI number before making a purchase. This can be accomplished by sending a SMS to 1909 with the format “IMEI (space) 15-digit number.” An instant reply message will confirm the registration status of the mobile phone. In a non-approved TRCSL phone, the dealer who sells unauthorised devices becomes unauthorised importer who has not paid any tax and the customer of such devices is likely, to be held responsible for relevant government taxes in case of any issues. 

Failure to select a TRCSL-approved smartphone may result in various consequences for consumers. These include the inability to claim warranties from suppliers, difficulties in obtaining one-to-one replacements, a shortage of spare parts for specific phone models, and, most critically, network and connection issues from telecommunications companies. Such issues encompass frequency problems, bandwidth and coverage issues, as well as network connection losses.

Abans is a TRCSL licenced vendor, serving as the Authorised National Distributor for Motorola and OPPO brands, in addition to being distributors for VIVO and Techno, as well as the authorised reseller for Apple iPhones in Sri Lanka, assures customers that all its smartphones are imported only after obtaining TRCSL certifications.

The authenticity of these certificates is verified by TRCSL in collaboration with the relevant governing bodies that issued them, affirming that Abans’ mobile phones not only meet high-quality standards but also ensure the health and safety of its customers. 

Abans, with a reputable 17-year partnership with Apple as a value-added trusted partner, is the first to introduce Apple’s latest innovations to the Sri Lankan market.
