In the market, mobile phone traders will be easily able to register themselves using the e-Gadget app. Shopkeepers will store the IMEI numbers of each mobile phone in the app so that the police may access the database for stolen gadgets. Customers will be able to use the app to verify if they are being sold a stolen device.
