Mobile Device Check for The Public
Everyone has a right to own a mobile device phone for day-to-day activities and transactions. However, when the device has been stolen, it is worrisome and can even cost one important information which he/she dearly kept.
Our System offers the following benefits:
• Identify and eliminate devices reported as stolen or lost before they are accepted into the reselling stream.
• Protect the public by keeping a database of their phones in case they subscribed with us
• Confirm device model for authenticity
• Discourage device theft, which benefits consumers and the entire device ecosystem
• Improved quality (performance betterment, low percentage of dropped calls, access success, handover advantages)
• High reliability
• Successful warranty and technical support
• Not hazardous to health (use of safe substances, genuine batteries etc.)
• Improved Security and privacy issues (in cases of theft or stolen phone, it is difficult to track the phone with invalid IMEI or “no IMEI” number) as illegal phones are confiscated at border posts
