IMEI is the unique number identification of a cell / mobile phone. All mobile phones have a unique number – therefore you would not find two with the same number.
Very informative post for all, please don’t forget to read & comments
Press the following on your mobile * # 0 6 # and the-international mobile equipment identity number appears. Then check the 7th and 8th numbers:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
To check your IMEI number, key in “*#06#” (star hash zero six hash) on your Nokia mobile phone’s keypad just as you would when you dial a phone number to make a call.
More detailed info. This only applies for phones after year 2004.
Format of IMEI is just like show below:
AA-BBBBBB-CCCCCC-D
AA-BBBBBB = Type Allocation Code (TAC)
CCCCCC = Serial sequence
D = Luhn check digit. (or zero if no checks)
From AA: you can know the Reporting Board – example 35 is BABT (British Approval Board for Telecommunications).
Use this to help you decide on a purchase! This is repost of an early member’s with a few newer editions:
To find out where your nokia phone was made look at digits number 7and 8 (YY) of your IMEI.
XXXXXX/YY/ZZZZZZ/A
XXXXXX = Type Appoval Code
ZZZZZZ = serial number
A = check digit
10 = Finland also 01 = Finland
20 = Germany
30 = Korea
40 = China
50 = Brazil, USA, Finland
60 = HK, China, Mexico
70 = Finland
80 = Hungary
91 = Finland

The above information is not correct. None of the manufacturer of mobile phones are providing the country name in their IMEI number. Please check with the website of Nokia to ascertain the veracity of this comments.
