Is your Nokia Cell Phone Original

Submitted by on Tuesday, 23 September 200850 Comments

Nokia is one of the largest selling phones across the globe. Most of us own a Nokia phone but are unaware of it’s originality. Are you keen to know whether your Nokia mobile phone is original or not? Then you are in the right place and this information is specially meant for you. Your phones IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number confirms your phone’s originality.

Press the following on your mobile *#06# to see your Phone’s IMEI number(serial number).

Then check the 7th and 8th numbers

Phone serial no. x x x x x x ? ? x x x x x x x

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits of your cell phone are 02 or 20 this means your cell phone was assembled in Emirates which is very Bad quality

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits of your cell phone are 08 or 80 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Germany which is fair quality

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits of your cell phone are 01 or 10 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Finland which is very Good

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits of your cell phone are 00 this means your cell phone was manufactured in original factory which is the best Mobile Quality

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits of your cell phone are 13 this means your cell phone was assembled in Azerbaijan which is very Bad quality and also dangerous for your health.

    can it b possible….??

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ vik,

    I think it’s not possible! Nokia will not agree to this.It’s the news leaked from inside of Nokia and has no strong basis for this.

    yes……..

    if u enable bluetooth & pair both the phones, then with in the bluetooth range it is possible that if u call in one phone then the bill will be reflected in another phone possible only when bluetooth is ON & both are paired……the software for it is SUPER BLUETOOTH HACKER ….u can get that from google sites…

    @ Bandu Sawant

    All 6300 have 7th and 8th digits 02.So your phone is not FAKE.But Nokia manufacturers this phone with very less care.So it’s not too good.

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ all who have 7th and 8th 02

    You need not worry.The phone is not a fake one.It’s a Nokia phone itself.But sure it’s quality is of LOW quality.

    Heard that Nokia, initially when it releases a phone to the market the manufacturing is done in Finland or in the original factory which is of High quality.But later when the sales start to kick in, they shift the manufacturing to some other country.

    I have checked many mobilesand seen that only those which are more than 2 yrs old they have 00 as the 7th and 8th digit but but mobiles which have been bought recently have 02.
    Does this mean that Nokia has stopped making mobiles of better quality.

    - 18 March 2009 at 11:22 AM
  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ jai

    The higher end phones (such as N series and E series) are still having the 7th and 8th digit 00 or 01. But the lower end sets distributed to asian countries are of poor quality. This is just done to make the product cost effective and increase their profit margin..
