IMEI : International Mobile Equipment Identity GSM : Global System for Mobile communication UMTS : Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems
There is a frequent use of reading IMEI in mobile phone development. People generally use IMEI for license/full version support of an application.
The IMEI number is used by the GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used to stop a stolen phone from accessing the network. For example, if a mobile phone is stolen, the owner can call his or her network provider and instruct them to "ban" the phone using its IMEI number. This renders the phone useless, regardless of whether the phone's SIM is changed.
