The International Mobile Equipment Identity number or IMEI is as useful as your car's serial number, especially when your phone is stolen. When someone reports their phone stolen, operators mark the phone as invalid. The IMEI is issued to every single GSM-enabled mobile phone on the market. Operators can use the number to identify valid or invalid subscribers to a particular network and the type of equipment used as well. If you report your phone stolen, police can quickly identify the phone by using the IMEI as well as the manufacturer and model of the phone.
