Is Your Mobile Phone Original?
A 15-digit number called International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is programmed into a GSM handset when it is manufactured. It is made up of identifiers that reveal where the handset can be used, which factory made it, a unique serial number and a check digit that ensures the whole number is valid. Like credit card numbers, only certain strings of 15 digits are valid.
You can check the IMEI number of a GSM phone, which prevail in Europe, the Middle East and the Far East, by dialling *#06#. Now check the Seventh and Eighth digits;
IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 02 or 20 this means your cell phone was assembled in Emirates which is very Bad quality
IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 08 or 80 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Germany which is fair quality
IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 01 or 10 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Finland which is very Good
IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 00 this means your cell phone was manufactured in original factory which is the best Mobile Quality
IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 13 this means your cell phone was assembled in Azerbaijan which is very Bad quality and also dangerous for your health
I have checked mine; and got IMIE number as 353522003094725
00 shows my phone is original; Now is your mobile phone original?
