Op, you are wrong. I'm not sure you know some of these phones can have their IMEI modified by the user. I already modified my phone IMEI to a blackberry IMEI. I believe with the modification I just did, I have turned my phone to original.

With MTK engineering app or some codes I have here, you can change your phone IMEI to whatever IMEI number you want. I modified so that I can enjoy the glo 1k for 3gb subs

Long thing.


Just copy the phone's IMEI and input into this website: http://www.imei.info


If the phone's fake, the picture of a phone different from that which you have at hand is usually displayed on the website.

Your write up is obsolete, phone cloners have improved, they get their spellings right and all clones generate original imei numbers.
The only way to check if a phone genuine is to go to the manufacturers website and enter details of the phone model
If the makers don't have a website the phone is fake, there are some models of techno that aren't found on their website these are fake phones, along with other brands that some people on this forum kill for , just becos a phone is plated in fake gold doesn't mean its original

Lool, I just dey laugh una. How many of you here has seen a samsung s5 clone? Same shape, virtually same settings. If u are tech savvy, to identify a faake phone
- observe resolution
- observe weight of phone
- observe carefully the Graphical User Interface to see any strange happenings.
Finally, Phone cloners are getting smart by the day. Its becoming difficult to identify fake....Go to youtube.com & learn more. If u dey find wrong spelling or imei bla bla on a fake phone, in this present age then u must sleeping on the bench!

Ur criteria on serials is void. . Most phone parts are made in china (except for probably apple devices) and assembled in various countries depending on the market they are intended for. . If u see a chinko replica or chinko android wanabe, d font, menu and screen resolution or quality would always give it away. .. The file manager is the simplest means to find out a chinko. Just open d file manager and voila. ...

*CORRECTION*
Apple devices are made by "Hon Hai/Foxconn Technology Group" which is a chinko firm. The chinko market is an open market and manufacturers building based on request (guided by customers quality demand). But u know for sure, when our brothers make their own request, their lust for easy gain and lack of foresight always has a direct impact on the quality of their requests
