Instructions
Step 1
Remove the battery from the mobile device and check for the CCC and Rostest logo stickers. Also, when buying, be sure to ask the seller for a license to sell mobile devices of this manufacturer. If he refuses to give it to you for any reason, do not buy the phone in this store.
Step 2
It is equally important to check the compliance of the IMEI code written in the phone system with the warranty card and the service sticker on the package.
Step 3
In the standby mode of the device, dial a combination of characters * # 06 # and carefully read the displayed identifier. Check if it matches the value written on the sticker under the battery, if any. Open the warranty card, where small rectangular stickers from the IMEI of mobile devices are usually glued, and check if they match. The same sticker is attached to the warranty card.
Step 4
If you have already purchased a mobile phone, check its IMEI number using special online services available on the Internet, for example, https://www.numberingplans.com/ (registration is optional).
Step 5
Go to the Number analysis tools menu on the left side of the page, select Analysis of IMEI numbers in the list of tools that appears. Enter your mobile phone ID in the form that appears on the screen. Please note that this must be done according to the diagram below.
Step 6
Make sure that the identifier you entered is correct, then click on the Analyze button or the Enter key while on the page with the registered IMEI of your mobile phone. Wait for the page to load and view the data available about your phone in the right corner of the window, if they match, most likely your phone is original.
Step 7
If nothing was found for your ID, double-check it. If the result is the same again, this indicates that you are using a fake cellular device.
