IMEI is shorthand of International Mobile Equipment Identity, which is a 15-digit unique code that uniquely identify a mobile phone to GSM network. Mostly cellphone display this unique code to screen by pressing *#06#.
In case of losing cellphone, the owner could request the telcos to block the lost cellphone via the IMEI code. The cellphone will become useless even replaces new SIM card, unless request the telcos to unblock it again.
Some service providers such as those in UK do use the IMEI to bar the cellphone from accessing any chargeable services once they detect that cellphone using a fault/illegal SIM card.
