What you will Get?
You can receive one of the three responses.
- IMEI Compliant : Which means your device is completely compliant and registered in PTA and GSMA, so you have nothing to worry about. Just chill 🙂
- Valid IMEI : This means that your device has valid IMEI number and registered with GSMA but not with PTA, so you need to contact PTA and get it registered.
- Invalid IMEI: Which means your device is neither registered with GSMA nor PTA. So this device is tempered and will not work after 20th October.
