"In this case, before purchasing a mobile phone handset, the IMEI accuracy of the set is verified by following the procedure below and a purchase receipt is requested from the seller.

Go to the message option of any mobile phone and enter KYD <space> 15 digit IMEI number and send it to 16002. "

You can know the IMEI of the handset by dialing * # 06 #. The notification was issued in the public interest.
