IMEI numbers

[Zhadnost]

Does anybody know if there is a publically available allocation table describing IMEI number ranges and Phone types?

TIA for any help

IMEI can be ivewed by pressing *#06#

The first 6 digits are the Type Approval Code.
The next 2 digits are the Final Assembly Code.
The next 6 digits are the Serial Number.

If there is another single digit left it is a check digit. Not all phones display it. It just makes sure the IMEI is valid.

Cool, I take it there isn't a database relating the Type approval code to manufacturer ID? (or even better handset type).

I have done a bit of searching and here is a (probbaly incomplete) table of the TAC so far.

01 AEG
02 AEG
07 Motorola
10 Nokia
20 Nokia
30 Ericsson
40 Motorola
40 Siemens
41 Siemens
44 Siemens
50 Bosch
51 Sony
51 Siemens
51 Ericsson
60 Alcatel
61 Ericsson
65 AEG
70 Sagem
75 Dancall
80 Philips
85 Panasonic


Does anyone have the TAC for Sendo phones for example or any others????

I found this thread because I was looking for the exact same thing .. since I found something (even though this is a really old thread) figured I'd post it

There's a really really good list, maintained a bit available at

http://www.nobbi.com/ from the TAC-Datenbank link

(full list at http://www.nobbi.com/tacdb.php?searc...ortby=t&lang=1 )

If you want the complete and upto date list, I think you've to subscribe to the auth body for something like $15,000 a year or something (ripoff?)
