Press Release from UMI China…

We would like to update that, goods have actually arrived in India and every day we are shipping out over 1000 pcs to India from China and prior to dispatch awaiting network licence clearance from Telecom body, as the handsets is imported from China and all companies have to re-process IMEI numbers prior to customer usage.

As per customs of India, this is new regulation to be implemented, so network service providers will “identify” handset over their network.

Delivery will start in couple of days, and are currently awaiting clearance on IMEI allocation.
