Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the reputation of the store where you are going to make a purchase. It is highly discouraged to purchase cell phones from little-known online stores. Such offices very often sell counterfeit products. It is much safer to buy a mobile phone in a specialized store that has several outlets in your city.
Step 2
If you nevertheless decide to purchase a cell phone on the Internet, then do not be lazy to find information and reviews of other buyers about this office. The opinion of the people is the best indicator of the level of service.
Step 3
Examine the cell phone box carefully. It must have the Rostest badge. If there is no such icon, then you risk buying an uncertified device. Pay attention to the documents for the device. Also inspect the entire package. The absence of any accessories may indicate that this phone is “gray”.
Step 4
Pick up the phone. Open the battery compartment and remove the battery. There should be a white sticker under it with black symbols. It has a unique identification code printed on it, which is assigned to each new mobile phone.
Step 5
Go to the official website of the manufacturer or call the hotline. Tell the operator the identification code of your phone. If the operator confirms the existence of such a number in the database, the mobile phone is real.
Step 6
Examine the mobile phone itself carefully. A certified device must have Russian letters on the keyboard. Moreover, the letters must be engraved. If the letters are glued or embossed with flaws and flaws, the phone is a fake. Poor quality plastic may also indicate the unknown origin of the device.
