After processing an abundant amount of codes,  you would be surprised at how many incorrect IMEIs are sent.

I’ll make this short and sweet.  Your IMEI number is found by pressing *#06#.  The only phone that this will not work on is the Blackberry Storm and potentially the Blackberry Tour.

For the Blackberry Storm 9500 or 9530, you must go to Options – Status.  Here you will find your IMEI which is a 15 digit number.

Any slashes or periods that you find are irrelevant, so you can disregard those.

Fake IMEIs:

Some people illegally alter their IMEIs.  This means that when you press *#06# the IMEI that appears may not be the true IMEI.  To find your true IMEI, you can find the IMEI on the back of your phone behind the battery.   This number cannot be altered.

Simple :)
