::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted November 3, 2009 I think you should confirm this sms details from RIM CC, This sms may be a HOAX, If this CC says your IMEI is invalid, rush to a service center with your original bill. If they say your IMEI is valid ask them for written confirmation. For getting the written confirmation you may have to meet some senior person in service center, also you may have to argue a lot for getting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

afzal_6339 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) IMEI no displayed using *#06# is different from that written in battery plate in my handset (spice D88n cdma/gsm). And the above link says that the IMEI no is valid(on battery plate) but they do not have any info abt this handset.

I use *3001#12345# there is no 15 digit no. please help Hi, Nokia 6275 is a CDMA handset, so it dont have IMEI number, IMEI is only for GSM mobiles. CDMA handsets work on ESN or MEID, in your case you will be having ESN, which you can find under the battery, or by code you mention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aalok 442 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Concerned over the national security, the Department of Telecom (DoT) had asked all operators to disconnect services to handsets that do not have IMEI number after November 30th 2009. The DoT move comes after security agencies found the these type mobile handsets with invalid IMEI has been used by terrorists. But now with a new software, developed by Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) and Mobile Standards Alliance of India, users of such handsets could get genuine IMEI numbers and continue to receive telecom service, But for this the concern customers will have to visit the centers and get the IMEI downloaded into their handsets for a cost Rs.199/- (Rupees One Hundred Ninety Nine).

Asit 4 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) I am using Spice D88n CDMA GSM Handset.. Today i got sms from reliance saying that your handset IMEI number is invalid! To enjoy uninterrupted services, change to a valid IMEI handset or get IMEI updated through IMEI service center.. what to do??? Just go to Spice ASC, they will do it free of cost. I have already faced this situation & they said that the phone is going to the default mode hence the IMEI also changed to the default one, and they are just restoring it. Anyway just do it.
