It is no secret that the theft and sale of cell phones of this type have become a big problem for Latin American governments. While it is true that countries like Mexico have implemented a series of measures to prevent this business, Peru has taken the next step with its new policy.
Recently, the National Registry of Mobile Terminal Equipment for Security, also known as Renteseg, will require that all third-party cell phones be registered starting April 22, so that in case a device is reported stolen, this organization is able to block it immediately and it cannot function.
The way this works can be an inconvenience for more than one, since all those who have a cell phone to buy from third parties, They will need to instruct the seller to carry out the necessary registration with Renteseg. If you bought the device outside of Peru, then you will have to go directly to the necessary company.
This is not only a measure to prevent cell phone theft in Peru, where four thousand cases of this type were reported per day last year, but also encourages users to purchase these devices directly from official stores in their country.something that is probably not to the liking of many users.
In some cases, It is cheaper to buy a cell phone on Amazon, but with this new measure, this process will become more complicated. On related topics, new emulators arrive in the App Store. Likewise, the first third party store is now available on iPhone.
Author's Note:
This is a controversial practice that will not be liked by many users. While this can have positive results, it will also cause more problems for people who are not trying to commit a crime.
