Really i see some people face this kind of problem buying fake phones, so i want members to give tips of idetifying fake phones. I think the one i know is that if one buys a new phone, he should press *#06# if the serial number starts from 35 you will know is a good phone

Yes there are codes that we can press, it will give us the day the phone was made, how long usage and if it has gone for a repair. I think this code is mostly found in nokia phones.

Exactly right,by entering codes you can find out the phone is original or not.Now a days so many fake phones are being made in China so we have to be careful while buying a phone.Thats why i never buy phone from local shops,always prefer to go branded showroom.

Yes thats right, many fake phones are been produced by china companies. What gets me funny is that china manufactures tend to imitate some manufactures company like nokia. And produce exactly what other company has produced but its just fake

Yes thats right, i was scammed by an quack store who told me that nokia were doing promo, i went with them and bought an X2 cheap phone but then realise it was fake china, even my service provider was not accepted by the phone. Well an army got my money back and i will make sure i head to the right store to purchase phone

Yes pepy, i will be careful this time around so as to not to fall in them again. The gaint stores are the best and thats the best place to get the best phone though their prize is costly
