Product Authentication program
Dear Customers,
To protect all LG customers from counterfeit and grey market products and
make sure that you receive official warranty service, LG is now running a product
authentication program. To make sure your handset is a genuine product of LG, ONLY
one SMS containing the IMEI No. of your purchased handset will be automatically
sent to LG on the date of purchase. Once your phone is authenticated, you will receive
the message ‘Your handset is a genuine LG product.’
The customer shall bear the cost of one SMS for the product authentication program.
In return, you will receive one additional month of warranty for free. One additional
month of warranty covers only mobile phone, not batteries and accessories.
The IMEI No. sent to LG guarantees your handset to be free from manufacturing
defects during the warranty period from the date of purchase without proof of
purchase or warranty card.
