Most probably, the mobile phone is the most used device by people throughout the whole world. A couple of years ago, the use of mobile phones was very limited. But today, many users have more than one or two mobile phones.

And to meet the demand, manufacturers are producing their products in different places to reduce the cost. Sometimes mobile phones are made in China, India, or any other country where production cost is relatively low. And quality is also hampered for this reason.
So, in this post, I will show you how you check your mobile phone’s quality using the IMEI number.

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It is a 15-digit number and may be found in the packet of the mobile phone. It may also be found by removing the back cover, and it may be placed on the battery sticker.

If you lose your IME number, then you can find it by typing *#06# on your mobile screen. After pressing this code, you will see a 15-digit number immediately on the screen called the IME number.

The number might be as below:
3 6 9 3 9 5 0 1 2 3 5 5 6 7 8

Now, look at the 7th and 8th digits. These two digits will ensure your phone’s quality!

If the seventh and eighth digits are 00, your Cell Phone is manufactured in the Original Factory, ensuring the best quality.
If the seventh and eighth digits are 01 or 10, your cell phone is manufactured in Finland, which is high quality.

If the seventh and eighth digits are 13, your cell phone is assembled in Azerbaijan, which is too bad. And it is also dangerous for health!
If the seventh and eighth digits are 02 or 20, your cell phone is assembled in Emirates, which is very poor quality. (NB: Some Indian sets have this number)

If the seventh and eighth digits are either 03/30 or 04/40, this indicates your phone is made in China, but its quality is good. But not good either as 00, 01 or 10.

If the seventh and eighth digits are 05 or 50, this indicates your cell phone is manufactured either in Brazil or the USA, or Finland.
If the seventh and eighth digits are 06 or 60, your cell phone is manufactured either in Hong Kong, China, or Mexico.

If the seventh and eighth digits are 08 or 80, this indicates your cell phone is manufactured in Germany, which is of fair quality.
Though the above information has been collected from very reliable sources, 1 or 2 may vary slightly. If so happen please contact us or leave a comment in the comment box.
