What is IMEI? How does it help?

• International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is a unique 15 digit code identifying a handset.
• IMEI number prevents the user from making calls from a stolen handset and allows security agencies to track down a specific user.
• Around 25 million handsets in the country are without the IMEI number.
• In April 2009, The Director General of Foreign Trade issued a notification banning the use of handsets without an IMEI number with immediate effect.
• Get the IMEI number implanted in your mobile handset immediately as otherwise your number will be disconnected and you will not be in a possition to operate the mobile phone.
