The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number is on all GSM and UMTS mobile phones. But your China mobile may bear no IMEI or fake IMEI number. To check the originality of your IMEI number, first you need to find the IMEI number. Indian Government is planning to ban these type of mobiles.
