What is IMEI Number and
how does it work?
What is an IMEI number?
The International Mobile Equipment Identity or IMEI is a device identification number mentioned below the battery of every mobile
phone device for the identification of the particular mobile device. This
number is different in every mobile device. IMEI number tells that where the
mobile device is made and what is the model number of the device.
These numbers are also available in GSM, CDMA and
IDEN and some satellite phones. This number is made of 15 digits (sometimes 16
and 17 digits) which shows the mobile phone device number, its place of origin
and the serial number of mobile (device).
According to an estimate about 25 million people in
India are using mobile phones without the IMEI number. Since 30 November 2009
night, Government of India banned the mobile device without IMEI number or
having fake IMEI number.
What is the function of IMEI number?
The IMEI number of any phone indicates
the phone's current location. Through IMEI number, it can be ascertained that
where is an individual standing? If a person's phone is lost or stolen, then
that phone's location can also be traced through the phone's IMEI number. If
someone does not know the IMEI number of his mobile phone then he has to dial *
# 06 # from his phone to know the same.
What are the benefits of the IMEI number?
1. The most important advantage of the
IMEI number
is that it helps in catching the criminals.
2. If someone has lost his mobile phone
or stolen by
someone then IMEI number can be useful to trace
the location of
the phone/thief.
How does IMEI number helps in catching
the thieves?
Police traces the mobile phone’s location
by knowing the network used by the SIM card of the theft/lost mobile. Police immediately informs the nearby police
station to catch a particular vehicle or individual using the IMEI number of
the mobile phone.
(See the picture below to understand properly)
So from this above information it becomes
clear
that the IMEI number of any mobile holds very
crucial information about
the mobile phone and its
manufacturer which plays a very important role in
curbing the crime.
