Actually just wanna to let everyone know that most AP imei doesn't match with box imei...
I have a experience that a buyer rejected my phone coz he told me AP imei MUST same with box imei and he told me everyone knows that... sweat.gif

Then may I ask why its not the same? Box and phone didnt come from same factory or what? My guess is that the phone imported in bundled without box as AP and put into box which was from another different original box? Hmm, sounds so much similar with recon.

Normally AP phones come in bulk without accessories/box and apply for Approval Unit (AP) and must approved by sirim... And then they combine those AP phone back with local accessories that is why phone IMEI will be not same with box IMEI... That will be cheaper if they did that without need to buy whole box together (save cost)... That also depends which AP company, so far CSL provide AP IMEI same with box IMEI...

Yes it sound simliar RECON phones, so before u buy a new AP/Ori, pls refer post #14 by Seaedge... tongue.gif He have some tips for those who going to buy new phones... thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Went to lowyat yesterday and checked the price for V3xx. Some says 500, some says 550 with added accessories. Sumore, some shop even have to take the phone/buy the phone first from their supplier and didnt kept any stock with them. Is it ok? How come this kinda shop dont keep their stock? Is theres a possibility that this kind of shop sell recond set?

Thats why you need to find the cheapest price to avoid you being cheated from the expensive price.

As huakenny said....

They doing this kind of method just want to avoid a lot of stock at their shop. icon_rolleyes.gif
