[kictanet] CCK's Directive on counterfeit phones

[arap Kirui]

I too am confused on this IMEI business. I bought the E 63 phone promoted and sold by Safaricom. I tried the *#06# on it and I realise it is 'fake'. The same phone was recently upgraded by the Nokia Care Centre along Mama Ngiina St Hilton Hotel building. Could they really have been upgrading a counterfeit? 

Can someone from Safaricom or Nokia enlighten me? Is there something we do not understand?

Listers,

The other day, CCK issued an ultimatum to mibile phone service
providers to disable all counterfeit phones, I think by 1st September
2011 (I stand to be corrected), and I'm a bit worried on what
criterion/criteria a phone is deemed fake!
Is it the presence of an IMEI number?

I'm still in the dark on this and I'm afraid most people are.

Anyone to enlighten?

Regards,

Solomon
