IMEI Number | IMEI Number Check | IMEI Check | IMEI number verification | IMEI number Tracking

IMEI-BANIMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number which do not have for Chinese handsets will stop working from 1st December 2009 because all mobile operators across India are asked The Department of  Telecommunication to stop services to such handsets. To check your IMEI Number or IMEI Number Check or IMEI Check from datebase or IMEI number verification or IMEI number Tracking can be made by following steps given below.

What is an IMEI number?

• IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is unique 15 digit identification       number of the Mobile Handset. It is like the registration number of your vehicle.
•One can check the IMEI no of the Mobile Handset by pressing *#06#
•IMEI numbers are being allotted by five bodies authorized by GSMA.
•From IMEI number one can identify the make and model of the handset.
• To verify the IMEI number one can send a message “IMEI <15 digit IMEI      No.>  to 53232

For eg : IMEI 351869910223340 to 53232

Message displayed for correct IMEI – Success!!

Message displayed for incorrect IMEI – Alert!!! Invalid IMEI

•No two mobile handsets in the world should have the same IMEI number.
•IMEI number is an important tool for the handset tracking.

The Structure of an IMEI Number :

IMEI numbers either come in a 17 digit or 15 digit sequences of numbers. The IMEI format currently utilized is AA-BBBBBB-CCCCCC-D:

* AA: These two digits are for the Reporting Body Identifier, indicating the GSMA approved group that allocated the TAC (Type Allocation Code).
* BBBBBB: The remainder of the TAC
* CCCCCC: Serial sequence of the Model
* D: Luhn check digit of the entire model or 0 (This is an algorithm that validates the ID number)

IMEI Number Verification :

Moreover, even if your Chinese handset is showing an unique IMEI number, it is important to validate that it is an unique IMEI number and not a cloned or duplicate IMEI number because recently many local Chinese firms sent millions of cheap mobiles in India with duplicate or cloned IMEI number which are also equally invalid as per international and Indian laws.

People can validate IMEI numbers of their handsets by sending their IMEI numbers of two numbers 57886 and 53232.

First Type IMEI (in Capital) space IMEI number and then send it to either 57886 or 53232. Within few minutes, people will receive a message about validity of IMEI number.

e.g. IMEI 352536650070854

In both cases of no IMEI number or duplicate IMEI number, people can use a service started by Mobile Standards Alliance of India (Govt. Approved) to provide valid and unique IMEI to all such handsets by paying just Rs 199. After getting new IMEI number, any person can use such handsets for as long as he wants.

People can get the list of all available authorized service centers in their area by visiting this link http://www.msai.in/listofcentre.php. It is important to get new IMEI number from only authorized shops approved by Mobile Standards Alliance of India.

The number 53232 is working for some operators only. When I send through BSNL then the reply comes as “The key word is not found”. The genuinity of the IMEI verification is doubtful. I am thinking it is just only biasing to the public.
