What is IMEI?
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique number that identifies the mobile GSM, WCDMA and IDEN, as well as some satellite phones.
IMEI is only used to identify the device and has no relation with the subscriber. This number is used by the GSM network to identify the device, and therefore can be used to stop a stolen phone from accessing the network in the country.
