Check Your Mobile’s Quality

As you might have guessed from the post title, this article is about checking the quality of your mobile phone. In this post i will let you know a code, inputting which, will reveal the place where your mobile phone was assembled !

Just follow the below mentioned steps and in no time you will know the country in which your mobile was assembled.Mobile phone

  1. Press the keys *#06# on your mobile phone.
  2. Inputting the above mentioned keys will reveal your mobile’s unique International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number.
  3. Now, check the 7th and 8th digits of your IMEI number. For eg: If your IMEI number is XXXXXXZY, then the 7th and 8th digit will be Z & Y respectively.
  4. Refer the below mentioned table to know the country where mobile was assembled.

  • If the 7th & 8th digits are 02 or 20 — Assembled in Emirates — Bad quality.
  • If the 7th & 8th digits are 08 or 80 — Assembled in Germany — Bad but less as compared to 02 or 20.
  • If the 7th & 8th digits are 01 or 10 — Assembled in Finland — Good quality.
  • If the 7th & 8th digits are 00 — Assembled in ORIGINAL FACTORY –  Best Mobile Quality, you can ever get.
  • If the 7th & 8th digits are 13 –Assembled in Azerbaijan — Worst quality.

P.S – This code to know IMEI number and country in which it was assembled, as far as i know, works for all mobile phone manufacturers and not just NOKIA. I own a Sony Ericsson and the code was working for me.

Do let us know, where was you mobile manufactured.

    nope i tried my gmail id and my yahoo id it says
    ‘Error

    The email address must be on gamevorm.blogspot.com

    Please hit the ‘Back’ button in your browser, correct the problem, and try again.’…
    if you got any more suggestion please tell me ok

    • Paritosh says:

      Since your blog is hosted on blogspot and you don’t own a top level domain name therefore you CANNOT get xyz@gamevorm.blogspot.com email address. Regarding registering on alexa, well i dont know what are trying to register and where because when you click on Register tab on alexa site, it does accept gmail and yahoo address’es ( i registered successfully ! ) Also, if you are trying to place a widget, then you can directly do so without even registering.

  10. Amul says:

    And paritosh one more thing how do i register with alexa whenever i try that it gave me two option’s 1.send a confirmation mail to my blogspot email address but that doesn’t even exist and 2.it says to put a infotext.htm file into root of my website but in blogspot you can’t do that…….i googled it yahoo it but i couldn’t find anything useful if you know anything about it please tell me THANKS

    • Paritosh says:

      @Amul You can create an email address for your blog in gmail and submit that for receiving confirmation email. Providing blog email address is not necessary as far as i know. And you cannot put a infotext.html file into root of your website as it is hosted on blogspot.
