How to Check an IMEI of your mobile device.

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It is a 15 digit number that uniquely identifies a device. This number is very useful for the security of your mobile device to prevent theft. When one changes the SIM card on a particular device, the IMEI number can help in tracking the new SIM card and the owner of it. You can therefore be able to track your stolen device. Bad news about it is that it is possible to change an IMEI number. If this is changed, then tracking your device won’t be possible. Good news is that there are ways to prevent this change.
