@Solomon,

Before confusion sets in, I believe that process is for verifying whether
or not the IMEI of your phone is GENUINE. It's a different thing that a
REGISTERED SIM Card.

I personally think there are competent crooks who can change the IMEI of
any counterfeight phone, even by copying/pasting one from a genuine
handset:-)

I don't care much about this though. Mine gets blocked and I carry it plus
the purchase receipts back to the dealer for a replacement!

I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
