Hey guys, I was looking through the mobile phones section of the garage sales thread and I came upon this thread about this guy selling his hp with pics posted and in 1 of them, you could see the IMEI number on the warranty card. Someone then replied and told him to cover the IMEI number immediately. What could be done if someone gets hold of your IMEI number actually? Thanks!

QUOTE(KTCY @ Jan 2 2008, 04:27 PM) Nothing. If I'm not mistaken, in Malaysia IMEI number mostly for original phone to cover it's warranty. This is because even we lost our phone, the telco can't lock our phone up using the IMEI number. Malaysia has yet to have that. lol, i don't know why that guy was so panicky about hiding the IMEI number if it doesn't do anything.  AP set phone comes with IMEI number that doesn't match the box   thanks a lot for the info!  |
