I've just heard on Radio, Mr. Wangusi urging the public to check whether the mobile phone they are using is registered.

One needs to check the IMEI number by dialling *#06# then send the IMEI number to 1555.

Your service provider should give you the response appertaining to the status of your phone.

I've checked mine, and it's registered.

@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! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
