What is IMEI in GSM mobile phones?
The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number of a mobile handset is a 15 digit number unique to a mobile handset. Just dial *#06# on your mobile phone and 15 digit IMEI will display on your handset. Each GSM phone has its unique IMEI.
How does it help?
It can help in many ways. E.g. If you lost your handset, the theif can enjoy facilities of the handset and anyone can use it easily. But if you know IMEI of your handset, you can send that thief inside the bars and get your mobile phone back. Just tell your service provider about the IMEI of your lost handset. There they have EIR (Equipment Identity Register). The EIR has three categories namely the "white lists", "Grey lists" and "black lists". The operator can block a handset by putting it in black list.
In the next post I will tell you why Indian government is blocking the handset without genuine IMEI.
