The phone identification number is the IMEI, International Mobile Equipment Identifier, or International Mobile Equipment Identifier. This number is required to identify the machine when connected to the operator's network.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to determine the IMEI of a mobile phone is to dial * # 06 # on the keypad of the device. This action causes the display of fifteen digits on the screen of the device. Please note that for some Sony Ericsson phone models this will be a seventeen-digit number, in which the IMEI itself is still fifteen digits, and the last two represent the phone's firmware version. The form of displaying the identifier may differ depending on the model of the device. It can be a solid line or separate groups of numbers, separated by different characters.
Step 2
IMEI consists of four digital groups: - six-digit Type Approval Code, or TAC, which includes the sample type code, country code and model code of the device; - two-digit Final Assembly Code, or FAC, which is the phone's assembly country code; - six-digit Serial Nimber, or SNR, representing the serial number of the mobile device; - unambiguous Spare, or SP, acting as an additional identifier.
Step 3
Another way to determine the IMEI of your phone is to carefully study the packaging box of the device. The identification number is usually indicated below the barcode. Another method is to take out the phone battery and find your phone's IMEI on the case below it.
Step 4
Use Java code to find your phone ID: - System.getProperty ("phone.imei") System.getProperty ("com.nokia. IMEI") System.getProperty ("com.nokia.mid.imei") - for Nokia phones; - System.getProperty ("com.sonyericsson.imei") - for Sony Ericsson phones; - System.getProperty ("com.samsung.imei") - for Samsung phones; - System.getProperty ("com.siemens.imei") - for Samsung phones; - System.getProperty ("IMEI") System.getProperty ("com.motorola. IMEI") - for Motorola phones.
