This is for which phone model? Nokia or what?

Op, do you have idea how imei are coined??


These are following parts of an IMEI:
Type Approval Code (TAC): 6 decimal places, centrally assigned.
Final Assembly Code (FAC): 6 decimal places, assigned by the manufacturer.
Serial Number (SNR): 6 decimal places, assigned by the manufacturer.
Spare (SP): 1 decimal place.
Thus, IMEI = TAC + FAC + SNR + SP. It uniquely characterizes a mobile station and gives clues about the manufacturer and the date of manufacturing.

What you refer to is the old numbering system

Thank you my brother. Don't mind that OP. Writing what he doesn't know.

What you refer to is the old IMEI numbering system where location of manufacture can be found in the imei

TAC: **-**** -
FAC: ** - indicating where phone was made.
SNR: *****- uniquely identifying a unit of this model
CD: if it is a GSM Phase 2 or higher
SVN: ** - The "software version number" identifying the revision of the software installed on the phone.

Be double sure of what you post.
Thumbs up. The OPs explanation does not hold. IMEIs are unique identifiers and has nothing to do with determining the quality of a product.

Oga you are wrong, please learn from the guy I quoted above or do a simple internet search.

If its a samsung, download the genuine galaxy app from the play store and it will tell you if your phone is original or not. It will even tell you the model it is a copy of. simple as that
