Information

Most of the people in M'sia already know it i just revise it again.
Normally when people buy a mobile phone the first question will ask is,"are this AP phone or Original set?" because the there is a big different price between an AP with a Original,some maybe in few hundreds.Below is some information between.

How to check Zitron/Avaxx or AP set
- take out the handphone case and battery
- if there's Zitron/Avaxx hologram sticker, it's original set.
- if there's Final Choice hologram sticker, it's AP set.
- original battery charger has Nokia and Zitron/Avaxx hologram stickers.
- press *#06# to check the mobile serial number (IMEI).
- compare it with the serial number written on package box sticker.
- for original set, both serial numbers are the same.
- (IMEI) stands for "International Mobile Equipment Indentity)
It's is the final choice for customer to choosing which kind of mobile they wish to buy,but the sales person will let us know what is the difference and services.Some of the people i know they don't care about the "Sticker" either it is original or an ap,they just want to use a phone!
For my opinion it's better to buy a Original set,because you are not buying a few dolor stuff,it's few hundred or some will reach thousands,you pay for it and you deserve to get the better services.
