Check whether your cellphone is Original or not

Here is a very important and useful trick to find out whether your cellphone is Original or a duplicate one.

  • By original here i mean that the cellphone is manufactured in the company where it claims it has been manufactured and duplicate/ fake ones are those which claims something but are actually manufactured somewhere else.

  • First of all press the following code in your mobile phone: *#06#
  • Most of you would be familiar with this code as it displays the unique mobile code called IMEI(International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. but we are unaware of the information we can retrieve from this IMEI number.
  • IMEI is a 15 digit number.
  • Check the numbers at 7th and 8th place from left.
  • If the 7th and 8th digits are 02 or 20 then it means that your cellphone was assembled in Emirates which is very bad quality.
  • If the 7th and 8th digits are 08 or 80 then it means that your cellphone was manufactured in Germany which is fair quality.
  • If the 7th and 8th digits are 01 or 10 then it means that your cellphone was manufactured in Finland which is very good quality.
  • If the 7th and 8th digits are 00 then it means that your cellphone was manufactured in Original Factory which is the best quality.
  • If the 7th and 8th digits are 13 then it means that your cellphone was assembled in Azerbaijan which is very bad quality and is also very dangerous for your health.
