Nokia Manufacturer IMEI country of origin Check
IMEI is the unique number identification of a cell / mobile phone. All mobile phones have a unique number – therefore you would not find two with the same number.
To check your IMEI number, key in “*#06#” (star hash zero six hash) on your Nokia mobile phone’s keypad just as you would when you dial a phone number to make a call.

More detailed info. This only applies for phones after year 2004.
Format of IMEI is just like show below:
AA-BBBBBB-CCCCCC-D
AA-BBBBBB = Type Allocation Code (TAC)
CCCCCC = Serial sequence
D = Luhn check digit. (or zero if no checks)
From AA: you can know the Reporting Board – example 35 is BABT (British Approval Board for Telecommunications).
Use this to help you decide on a purchase! This is repost of an early member’s with a few newer editions:
To find out where your nokia phone was made look at digits number 7and 8 (YY) of your IMEI.
XXXXXX/YY/ZZZZZZ/A
XXXXXX = Type Appoval Code
ZZZZZZ = serial number
A = check digit
10 = Finland also 01 = Finland
20 = Germany or 02
30 = Korea or 03
40 = China or 04
50 = Brazil, USA, Finland or 05
60 = HK, China, Mexico or 06
70 = Finland or 07
80 = Hungary or 08
91 = Finland or 19
There may be more please list by commenting and not grantee about accuracy.
You can always look at the sticker under your phones battery. Its not always correct
sometimes it is MADE BY NOKIA
NO GRANTEES about it its just for idea..
Good Luck!

08 and 80 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Germany which FAIR QUALITY
01 AND 10 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Finland which is VERY GOOD
00 this means your cell phone was manufactured in original factory which is THE BEST MOBILE QUALITY
IF THE SEVENTH & EIGHTH DIGITS ARE 13 THIS MEANS YOUR CELL PHONE WAS ASSEMBLED IN AZERBAIJAN WHICH IS VERY BAD QUALITY AND ALSO DANGEROUS FOR YOUR HEALTH

Hi all
Hi i bought a nokia 6120 classic yesterday and was thinking about the country of origin when i came across this post. The 7th and 8th number of my imei is 02. Some websites say that it is germany and some say it is emirates. However, the label under the battery says that it is made in korea. It seems in not the only person who is troubled with this kind of a dilemma. Can somebody give us correct details on this issue?GD Star Rating

Prior to 2002, the TAC was six digits long and was followed by a two-digit Final Assembly Code (FAC), which was a manufacturer-specific code indicating the location of the device’s construction.
For example, the IMEI code 35-209900-176148-1 or IMEISV code 35-209900-176148-23 tells us the following:
TAC: 352099 so it was issued by the BABT and has the allocation number 2099
FAC: 00 so it was numbered during the transition phase from the old format to the new format (described below)
SNR: 176148 – uniquely identifying a unit of this model
CD: 1 so it is a GSM Phase 2 or higher
SVN: 23 – The “software version number” identifying the revision of the software installed on the phone. 99 is reserved.The format changed as of April 1, 2004, when the Final Assembly Code ceased to exist and the Type Approval Code increased to eight digits in length and became known as the Type Allocation Code. From January 1, 2003 until that time the FAC for all phones was 00.
