The full meaning of “IMEI” is “International Mobile Equipment Identity” it is a unique number to identify mobile phones, as well as some satellite phone. The IMEI is only used for identifying the device and has no permanent relation to the subscriber or user.

The main important purpose of the Imei number is because it is used by the GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used to track a stolen phone and stop the device from accessing mobile network in any country.
