Krishnaprasad 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2011 Hi All, Just to caution everyone about the mistake I did with AKey. When I gave the MEID details to CC, I gave the incorrect last 6 digits of AKEY (12345678901234567890xxxxxx). And activated the phone with incorrect details at Service Provider. Now the calls were dropping and realized immediately that it is because of incorrect AKEY. And in the iCare, it's been updated as lost/stolen. Called CC and gave the correct AKey. But problem is with re-Activation. Guys at web world are clueless about why activation is asking for 9 digit pin instead of confirming the phone number. No help from backoffice as well. At last explaining for 1 hour to CC, got a call from activation department and they said it is due to some technical issue at their end and rectified immediately. Now my phone is working without any issues. In case if you happen to get into this, please ask CC to escalate to Activation Department. Thanks, KP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krishnaprasad 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2011 As Parin said, always better we contact seller/experts in this forum. In my case, mine is newly bought Verizon phone and I tried generating the AKey (of course going thru the experts help in this forum) and gave another handset's AKey while getting it's MEID registered by CC (not activation. Sorry for miscommunication above). They have asked for MEID, ESN, AKEY, Handset Brand owner and Model. In a hurry (over a call with CC), I gave incorrect. This caused all the hiccups. (I just tried because mine is of very low cost phone). -KP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a hurry (over a call with CC), I gave incorrect. You mean to say Reliance CC just registered your handset MEID over a phone call? OR you went through some known source?

Genius 817 Report post Posted December 13, 2011 ^^ Registering MEID on phone call through known source - this is not digestable are we missing something friend. Akey generation requires military level algorythms to come out for checksum can be done via special software or dll used in that software has to purchased - are you sure u have ur meid reg. did u checked with getstat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krishnaprasad 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2011 They (CC) didn't understood in the first attempt. Tried many times and sending mails. In one of the call, the person whom I spoke to checked with their senior and then their HLR department for this. We have gone thru RIMWEB posts and found that CDMA WS does the magic. It gave the checksum. Yes. Our phone has been registered & then activated. If we didn't have done the mistake in first instance, we would have got the activation a week before. Since we did mistake while registering, we have waited till a week to have the AKey updated (this can be done by the web world guys) and then re-activated handset. -KP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarun_kabra 204 Report post Posted December 14, 2011 Even I would like to know the details of WebWorld Guys capable of doing this MEID Regn. I don't think even 5% of Webworld Guys know what exactly is the MEID Regn/Akey, they have never gone beyond the word RSN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

k2034 1 Report post Posted November 21, 2012 In addition to MEID, what else do I need to provide to TATA guys for activation. Akey along with checksum is also needed for them to activate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
