Guest cerij Posted November 4, 2006 Report Posted November 4, 2006 I recently purchased a Smartphone on Ebay, but notice that the IMEI number generated by pressing *#06# is different to the one on the box and on the back of the phone (which are the same). Should I be suspicious?
Guest cerij Posted November 4, 2006 Report Posted November 4, 2006 Sorry, just me being stupid - the phone of course has 2 additional numbers on the end!
Guest awarner (MVP) Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 It's been known in the past that some people have sold dodgy phones with a different box. I've even seen someone attempt to buy an empty box here before in the past just to sell a phone.
Guest nuttyphilt Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 It's not necessarily suspicious (but probably is :rolleyes: ) I know in the past when I've had a faulty phone replaced by Orange, they only send a replacement handset in a plastic bag - no replacement box.
