Apologies for cross posting. I've just heard on Radio, Mr. Wangusi urging the public to check whether the mobile phone they are using is registered. One needs to check the IMEI number by dialling *#06# then send the IMEI number to 1555. Your service provider should give you the response appertaining to the status of your phone. I've checked mine, and it's registered. At least I know come September 30th, my phone will not be switched off. Regards, Solomon
That doesn't make sense, who said phones be registered? I thought it was sim cards that were being registered. What happens to devices we buy online? On Jun 28, 2012 6:18 PM, "Solomon Mbũrũ Kamau" <solo.mburu@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear all, The 1555 is to check whether your phone is genuine or fake not about phone is registered or not. It does this by querying the GSMA database.

As long as they dont make a call at the same time there should be no problem :) Afterall, the exercise, from what I understand so far, is to check whether the IMEI exists in the db. Its not a registration exercise. So since the IMEI exists, the phones that share the IMEI shall be deemed valid/genuine. On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 8:40 AM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

@Solomon, Before confusion sets in, I believe that process is for verifying whether or not the IMEI of your phone is GENUINE. It's a different thing that a REGISTERED SIM Card. I personally think there are competent crooks who can change the IMEI of any counterfeight phone, even by copying/pasting one from a genuine handset:-) I don't care much about this though. Mine gets blocked and I carry it plus the purchase receipts back to the dealer for a replacement! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
