IMEI Stand for International Mobile Station Equipment Identity

which is a unique 15 digit identity code of each phone. If you lose


this code, you wont be able to make any calls or track your
Phone once its lost. The IMEI number is used by a GSM network
to identify valid devices and therefore can be used for stopping a
stolen phone from accessing that network. For example, if a
mobile phone is stolen, the owner can call his or her network
provider and instruct them to blacklist the phone using its IMEI
number. This renders the phone useless on that network and
sometimes other networks too, whether or not the phones SIM is
changed. You can find you IMEI No by entering *#06# on the
dialpad. In this guide Ill help you to restore your lost IMEI No.
which is generally lost due to installing custom ROM, using
improper method for rooting etc. One can easily
find your phones
model through your IMEI No.
