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.
