Bigjagga:
Have you ever heard that someone bought an iPhone 6Plus or Samsung Galaxy S7 or any high end phone only to discover that it was fake (chinco)? It happens all the time, here's how to check if your phone is original or not.

For all phones except iPhone simply dial *#06# and a number will be displayed on your screen, if the phone is original, it will begin with 35 and it must be 15 digits in all, example 357286085471230. Some Android phones and other smart phones may not start with 35 but the digits displayed on the screen must be 15 in number. If it is greater than or less then 15, the phone is a fake phone.
Advanced method for all phones except iPhone:

Once you get the IMEI, go to Imei.info. Input your phone’s IMEI in the box and hit “CHECK.”
The system will verify the phone’s information. If it displays information different from the handset, then your handset might be fake.


Once you get the IMEI, go to "Imei.info"(without the quote). Input your phone’s IMEI in the box and hit “CHECK.”
The system will verify the phone’s information. If it displays information different from the handset, then your handset might be fake.


To check if an iPhone is original or fake get the imei ( To get an iPhone’s serial number, go to Settings > General > About phone ) and follow the steps below;

Once you get the serial number, input it here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do. It will check your phone’s warranty period.
If the system says “We're sorry, but this serial number is not valid. Please check your information and try again,” it is likely that your iPhone is fake.

impossible, nobody will bother to Clone an already cloned phone.

xreal:
Ok, thank you.


Now that I have discovered that my phone is fake, what should I do?
Destroy it?
Return to the seller and request for a refund?

Please tell me.

Chai!
This phone that I liked so much and serves its purpose so well is now discovered to be a fake; will I still like to load credit on it ?

I for no check its originality in the first place.
