Welcome to the BBForums.

Fake? Do all functions work? Probably not fake.

Stolen? Ask your seller.

Bugged? Impossible.

Bugged????

Say you are going to kill the President, and if the Secret Service shows up, then it is bugged.

I would do these two tasks at least....

- Call the company that the device is branded to and have them check the IMEI to make sure it is not stolen or lost.

-- Have them check to see if the PIN and IMEI have been released

Though if you've successfully activated the device and are using it, these two points are likely moot, as you probably would have had issues getting it to work for you.
