Hi,

I dont know when exactly IMEI is used with the network. But I guess... might be for Identification process, for ex,.. to provide your Mobile a way to get identified with the network so that network would route the call/messages or any kind of services that are availed to you ( You must know it is a unique number ).

Again, it is used when you dont have sim but only the phone with you. That time you must be knowing that you can make an Emergency call without SIM! This emergency call happens because of your IMEI as it identifes itself with the network. However... IMEI is optional for emergency call in ..... country but necessary in ..... countries!

Moreover, it will be used when your Mobile has been stolen. In that case you can approach the network operator to bar your mobile usage.. I mean to make your mobile a garbage of no use.

Hope you have got your answer!!!

In theory the IMEI number should be unique identifier for every cell phone. This number can for example be used to lock a phone in case it has been stolen. Unfortunately there are several reports that in some cases the IMEI is not unique.

Can you track mobile using IMEI number?

The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number is specific to the handset. The mobile number is associated with the SIM card. If you swap a different SIM card into the mobile phone, it will have a different mobile number but the same IMEI number. The mobile company will have a record of the IMEI of the handset that used a particular mobile number for a particular call, and your mobile provider has a record of the IMEI of any phone you purchased from them, but you cannot in general trace the IMEI by the mobile number.
