Its better the way, sub have been informed on how to find out which IMEI is fake or genuine, doing it from a sub perspective will bring much chaos as guys will stop trusting one provider from the other in a scenario they put a sim on provider A and they don't get a message but gets on provider B
My two cents

On a light note, the reasons below could differentiate between the fake
ones and the original ones :)
So next week simu fake zote zinazimwa...labda hujui kama simu yako ni
fake...wacha niwaambie...
1. kama simu yako inaanza ku charge ikiwa karibu na socket hata kabla
uiweke kwa socket basi simu yako itazima...
2. pia kama simu yako ina ringtone kubwa yenye lazima uikatie license ya
NEMA,hiyo simu ni fake
na itazima.
3. pia kama vibration yake ikiwa silent mode ni loud kulliko ringtone
, wembe ni ule ule...
4. Kama imetengenezwa na chuma,ikikwangukia vidole zinafura siku tatu,
tafadhali uzia watu wa welding kabla izimwe..
5. Kama camera imeandikwa 10 mega pixels na picha inatokea kama
negative, uko tu nayo mpaka next wk..
6. Kama uliinunua ikiwa ya blue na saa hii huwezi jua ni rangi ipi itazimwa!
7. Kama iko kwa mfuko, inapo vibrate unasongasonga, hio itazimwa!

Wouldn't it be a good idea for Safaricom, Airtel, Orange and Yu Mobile to start informing their clients whether their phones will be switched off or not via text? A message in the format "Dear customer, your IMEI number ************* shows that you device is counterfeit. Kindly purchase an original device to continue enjoying our services. Thank you." I would imagine the cost of doing this is Ksh.0 within their networks - but I stand to be corrected. For those who have original devices, the message would read "Dear customer. From your IMEI number, we can tell our device is original. This means that you will continue enjoying our services come ** September 2012. Thank you."

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
