The lifting of the import ban on Xiaomi phones started with the MIUI update

Late August, Kian Mobile Computer Company announced the solution of the problem of Xiaomi phones in contact with emergency numbers. The company acts as Xiaomi’s official representative in Iran, and entered into negotiations with the parent company after the Radio Regulatory Authority announced a ban on the import of some of the company’s handset models.

After negotiations with Xiaomi’s technical and R&D team, Kianlog’s mobile computer sent Xiaomi handsets, which contain empty USCs in the Iranian region, to the parent company so that the EC could be read directly from the phone’s software instead of being read on the SIM card. Thus, the problem of calling 112 on Xiaomi phones was solved even without a SIM card. Also, the beta test sample of the update of the phones in which the problem was solved was approved by the regulatory organization.

According to Zomit, Xiaomi finally started fixing the problem of calling emergency numbers in Iran yesterday by sending an update for the Redmi 9a. The following handsets will receive the MIUI update in the coming days, respectively, where the call problem has been resolved:

• Redmi 9c
• Redmi Note 8 (2021)
• Mi 11 lite
• Poco x3 Pro
• Redmi note 10 Pro
• Poco F3
• Poco x3 Gr
• Redmi note 10
• Poco M3

To get this update, just go to the About Phone section on your phone and then update MIUI. After that, you can dial 110, 112, 115, 125 and 118 with a SIM card and 112 without a SIM card.

Immediately after the Redmi 9a was updated, this model was removed from the regulatory announcement list and customs allowed it to be imported. Other models in this list are:

Due to the great popularity of Xiaomi mid-range phones in our country and the company’s 30% share of the Iranian mobile market, fortunately the list of banned phones will not continue, and we will soon see the lifting of the ban on ordering other Xiaomi models.
