Each mobile phone has a pre-recorded unique identification number called IMEI, which in its acronym means «International Mobile System Team Identity«, Which basically consists of 15-digit numbers that can be used to identify the provider information, model number, originality and other data of a cell phone.
Telephone operators using this IMEI can also check device, status and location details. Usually the IMEI number of a phone can be seen by dialing directly * # # 06. On an Android device, it can also be viewed from Settings and About device.
