Do Not Buy “Cheap Mobiles”

Today everyone has learned to be careful when carrying a mobile phone in a bag or a pocket. It should not be left in the car, as one may not only lose the phone, but the car window can be smashed and the documents stolen.

We all know very well also that a stolen mobile can be bought very cheaply. It can be much cheaper than the cheapest phone in a special shop.

Sometimes  announcements like: “I will buy a mobile phone cheaply” appear even in the press and on television.

Even a child knows which telephones the author of such an announcement is ready to buy.

This certainly does not mean that one cannot sell his mobile and set his own price. In such cases a special form is filled in Magti GSM service offices and a new owner can legally obtain a phone.

However to those who in search of a cheap mobile help the trade in stolen phones we recommend not to hurry.

Magti GSM tries to protect its users’ interests.

When one buys a mobile phone legally, a serial number  or the so-called IMEI is indicated on the box. The serial number is also given on the back of the apparatus, behind the battery. In cases where the serial number is deleted, it is retained in the telephone memory and it can be read any time.

When a lost telephone has a new owner, the latter of course throws away the old SIM card, buys a new one and links into the network.

Our company uses a special system which registers the activation of every serial number.

With the help of the serial number of the lost mobile it is possible to find the new owner but only in those cases when the phone is connected to the MAGTI GSM network.

It should be noted that to register a phone according to its serial number, it is necessary to fulfil certain legal norms. For additional information you should contact the company’s legal department (tel.: 32 18 81).

As is known every GSM system operator has similar programmes.

We are pleased that many of our customers have gained their lost or stolen telephones back.

We strongly advise not to buy a mobile phone from a stranger – even for a very cheap price. You should always remember that the legitimate owner is looking for it.
