Hello,
Based on the IMEI-number of a cellphone you can tell which country is was made for, the manufactor, the phone-model, etc..
But where on the Internet can you find a list of the different number?
Link?

Analysis of IMEI numbers
All mobile phones are assigned a unique 15 digit IMEI code upon production. Below you can check all known information regarding manufacturer, model type, and country of approval of a handset.

@leprechaun
Is that site secure? Sounds like a good way to supply important info to strangers. IMEI numbers could be dangerous in the wrong hands.
Posted by BobaFett
in the good old times, /// used following codes:
( 7th and 8th nr in imei )
51, 61 sweden
45 china
71 malaysia ( but i saw malaysia with 45 aswell )
or there was some fones with 62, but then the sticker said : made by ericsson

to said the truth, i don't know. but i believe, it's secure.
why do you think your imei number could be in danger in these hands? the only insecure issue with imei i see, that somebody "steals" my imei for his phone, so i would not be able to register into network with my phone ... and for this i believe this site.

Here is an xample of what someone can do with this sort of info. Yes I know this incident involved landlines, but its not inconcieveable that a mobile could be used in the same way.
@ECS
Good idea, only the other thread seems to have died and THIS ONE was the original anyway.

youll be surprised what someone can do with IMEI numbers, you can block that phone very easily!
Posted by leprechaun
this's what i was talking about ... someone changes imei of his phone and use your one and as two phones with the same imei can't be registered in one network, one phone of these 2 phones fails to operate ... that's all
Posted by JK
The sim card also is read by the imei number....
So if the wrong IMEI number is reading another sim card, what do you thinks gonna happen????

the simcard is not in anyway locked to the IMEI number, since you can switch sim card in your phone and still use it....
Posted by leprechaun
what i know nothing
sim card is identified on gsm network by imsi (international mobile subscriber identity) number and that's something completely different than imei.

correct
two ways to identify a user on a network:
IMEI number - the identification of the mobile device
IMSI number - the identification of the subscriber... consists of countrycode (MCC), networkcode (MNC) and the subscriber number (MSIN)

Errrrr im not sure if im allowed to say, but with an IMEI number 1 can get the number u using and with your number 1 can get all you account info....
prepaid to but its more dificult, contract verrrry easy!!
1 can lock it very easily....
1 can tell where bout you are to 50m radius
remember a phones serial number is all a SP has on what phone was given to you.... they use it for everything!!!! a sim can be traced just like an IMEI.... you put your sim in another phone they will know whats the IMEI of the phone you just put that card into!!!!
etc
etc.......................

uumm how bout this one...
Mobile equipment brand / model: SonyEricsson K750u
GSM Implementation Phase: 2/2+
IMEI range issued by: British Approvals Board of Telecommunications (BABT)
Reporting Body location: United Kingdom
but it sez on tha box the day i purchase it... it was made in China...
so i think this unit is still alright... aite? no mystery or sumthin...

@786KBR
do you know, they could also monitor your voice conversations? which sms you've sent and whom ? etc, etc ...
lol, for all of this you would need access to operator management centre. don't be so paranoic
