The full form of IMEI is International Mobile Equipment Identity. A unique set of 15–17 digits known as the IMEI number is used to identify Global Mobile Communications System (GSM) phones. The SIM card from any telecommunications provider connects to the user and can be moved from one phone to another, making it an essential tool for maintaining knowledge about the hardware. A specific cell phone is identified by its IMEI, a code or number used over such a mobile network. Usually, it is imprinted on the mobile battery’s back.
- Anybody may check the IMEI mobile number by dialling * # 06 #.
- The IMEI code indicates the model name, system serial number, and source information.
- For instance, if the IMEI number is XX-YYYYYY-ZZZZZZ-A / BB, the XX number specifies the model and brand of the cell phone and reveals the identity of the reporting body, which is a member of the TAC.
- Additionally, the Type Allocation Code (TAC) includes the YYYYYY, ZZZZZZ, and the remaining digits represent the software version number.
- The IMEI code is used if a smartphone is lost. Therefore, if a user’s phone is stolen or lost, he can give a mobile network provider his IMEI number and ask them to disable the device.
