Well IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It is a unique 15 digit

this displayed on their screens by dialing *#06# in their mobiles. Using this number, one can
trace the location of the mobile.
At first, this was the feature of Smartphones only. Only smart phones used to come with this
unique number for identification. But now, as soon as a GSM phone is manufactured, that mobile
phone is being assigned a unique IMEI code for its identification and tracing the location.
The information about such phones is being stored on the internet too through various databases.
The information stored there is about the manufacturer of the mobile, its model, date of approval
and the country name where it is being manufactured. We have so many websites which provides
such information. We just have to provide our unique IMEI code number onto the website and it
will produce results regarding manufacturers name, its model, date of approval and the country
where it has been manufactured.

Whenever the phone is switched on, the IMEI number is being transmitted and is verified against
the database in the network’s EIR i.e. Equipment Identity Register.
This register has stored three categories in it for the phones viz. “white lists”, “grey lists” and
“black lists”. The operator can block a particular handset by simply putting it into the black list
when asked to do so. Even, by the help of Global Positioning System or commonly known as
GPS, an operator can track the handset user also. But the use of these mentioned lists and the
technology is at the operator’s discretion only. Usually, the operators provide such services for
some special investigations only.
