Tested on iPhone, Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson and Motorola phones. However, it should work on any brand.

Press *#06# on your phone and the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number appears. Then check the 7th and 8th digit.

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 02 or 20 this means your cell phone was assembled in China which is of low quality.

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 08 or 80 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Germany which is of fair quality.

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 01 or 10 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Finland which is of very good quality.

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 00 this means your cell phone was manufactured in original factory which is the best phone quality.

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 13 this means your cell phone was assembled in Azerbaijan which is of very bad quality and may also be dangerous for your health.

Other 7th and 8th digits exist representing other countries however we will not put them online before we can confirm them. Once we have confirmation, we will add them to the list above.
