Harmony In Setif, Algeria

Echorouk Reports:

The number of fake cell phones in Algerian black market increased by 12 times in the last eight months compared to the year 2006.

A total of 20,393 fake cell phones were seized in 2007 while 1,709 ones were found out in 2006. These fake cell phones were found with cars drivers and in some eastern and western borders areas.

Please, can someone tell me what a fake mobile phone is? Are they rebuilt or configured by a no-name company? They obviously work, if people are buying them. I am not sure ‘fake’ is an appropriate description, or is it?
