Mobile users in a fix

The decision of Central government and TRAI to ban the China mobile phones has spurred the Task Force Police into carrying out raids on the niche markets selling such pieces. While many dealers are finding the edict hard to assimilate, even customers are crestfallen. People already using the phone are under utter confusion whether to continue using it or spend a huge amount on a branded one with similar features.

Though the IMEI is being quoted as the reason, traders allege that it is the manipulation by the mobile giants to throw the cheaper cell phone pieces out of market. Manipulation or not, the swoop down is sure going to hit the fringe market hard.
