hi when i press *#06# the imei num shown is 352365-00-729211-6-03 but on the box it is 352365-00-729211-6 and the last -03 is not on my phone there so my question is what imei num i should put when asked to put imei num for any software application. i brought this as a second hand so will i have any probs in getting software registered , does anyone else also face a problem similar to mine

you only put the first 15 digits so the last two dont matter.

Here is an excellent explanation of what the numbers mean which was posted by WereSHARK

A sample IMEI number might be 351111-44-999999-2-88

The first two digits (35) is the country code, the next four digits (1111) is the fac/final assembly code, the next two digits (44) is the tac/type allocation code, the next six digits (999999) is the SERIAL NUMBER, the next digit (2) is the cd/check digit and the last two digits (88, which are usually ignored are extra check digits)
So the format is cc-fac-tac-sn-cd-xcd for the P900's manufactured up to April 1,2004.


For the P910 series... a sample IMEI might be like 35444444-999999-2-88

The first 8 digits (35444444) is the tac/type allocation code, the next six digits (999999) is the SERIAL NUMBER, the next digit (2) is the cd/check digit and th last two digits (88) again are just extra check digits, often ignored)
So the format is tac-sn-cd-xcd

Hope this clears a bit up..
