All they do is check the IMEI to find out if the phone is being used, and if it is, they can get the details of the new SIM card.The government cannot block unregistered IMEIs because then they'd have to register every smart device that can use a SIM card. Stuff like 4G routers and car entertainment systems. And then the government will need to register all the devices tourists bring. It's just not feasible to do it realistically.The only drawback of not being registered is that certain authorized dealers won't repair unregistered phones. (Eg: Genxt)If your phone is held by customs and you pay taxes, it will be registered on TRCSL without requiring any approvals. You just need to fill out a short form at the post office with your IMEI, name, and ID and that's it.</blockquote>
