The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is the unique identity number of your phone, which is allocated by global industry body GSMA and bodies authorized by it. Whenever you purchase a new phone, you can check the IMEI number behind the battery or on the box in which the handset is packed.

The government has made tampering of IMEI numbers a punishable offence. However, thieves change the IMEI number of stolen mobiles using a ‘flasher’. A flasher is a small device that helps connect the handset to a computer and allows the user to modify the IMEI number. However, it is not easy to get a flasher and it is not legal to use it to alter IMEI number.
