Q. What is the IMEI Number?

A. The International Mobile Equipment Identity Number is the 15 Digit serial number of the GSM phone that is the equivalent of the ESN number in a Analogue Phone, this is fixed in the phone and cannot be changed.

The number is always on the back of the phone. Normally under the battery. Most phones if you type * # 06 # will dispaly the IMEI number on the screen. They are always 14 to 15 numbers in lenght. If it is 15 it ALWAYS ends in a Zero. 15 is the most common.

	Type Approval Code	Manufacturer	Serial Number	Spare
	123456	12	1234567	1
Example	330014	53	144254	0

Please send the first 8 digits of your IMEI number to me with the country of Manufacture and the model of the phone so that I can get an accurate list.
