What is IMEI Code?

International Mobile Equipment identity aka IMEI is a unique set of numbers that is installed by the factory in each unit or device under the global system for mobile communication (GSM) specification. Although IMEI numbers have many purposes its major purpose is to identify the mobile device and prevent the wrong application in case of theft. If a mobile device can be universally recognized, a thief cannot change the SIM card on a phone and expect to keep the phone. IMEI numbers are hard-coded into device hardware, making it nearly impossible to change them without somehow damaging the device. When a carrier knows that a device has been stolen, it can blacklist the IMEI code and lock it out of the network, and also tells the other networks to do the same.IMEI is usually found printed on or underneath the phone’s battery and warranty card or you can just dial *#06# on your mobile.
