IMEI Analyzing and IMEI Tweaking

If you still get confused on what it means whenever you hear these pairs of double words, IMEI Analysing and IMEI tweaking or you simply don’t know what they are and curious to know, then you are at the right place.

As we are not only going to break down the meanings for you, but also going to show you how to analyse IMEI and tweak IMEI at the same time.

First of all let’s come again with the meaning of IMEI;

IMEI stands for International Mobile Station Equipment Identity; it is mostly a 15digit unique numbers used to identify many tech gadgets like your phones, modems (dongles) etc.

And because IMEI is a unique entity to all devices, no two set of devices have the same IMEI.

Now for most phones, to see their IMEI, simply dial *#06# and it will be displayed on their screen.

If your phone is dual SIM, you will see 2 IMEI when you dial that number but if it is single SIM phone, you will see only 1 IMEI.

Now that you now know what IMEI is all about, let’s move down to IMEI Analysing.

IMEI analysing as the name suggest is just the act of checking whether any given IMEI is valid or not and it is normally done with a software (app) simply known as IMEI Analyser.

The last number in a 15 digit IMEI is regarded as the Checking Digit and it is with this last number that the IMEI analyser uses to verify the validity of remaining 14 IMEI digits.


For example now, you can key in an incomplete IMEI in the IMEI analyser and maybe personally choosing some random numbers to complete the remaining IMEI digits and then use the IMEI analyser to check if the IMEI is valid.
Using of IMEI Analyser to analyse IMEI is very simple; and all you need to do is to download the IMEI analyser app for your device, open the app and you will see the space to key in the IMEI that you want to analyse, when you have put in the IMEI, simply tab on the Analyse Button there and wait for some seconds for feedback.

The IMEI analyser will then tell you whether the IMEI you input appear valid or not.

You can download IMEI analyser for your android.


Finally is IMEI tweaking; Tweaking is an English word that means to make fine adjustment on something.

Now when you hear of IMEI tweaking or to tweak the IMEI of a device, what that simply means is to make a fine adjustment on the IMEI of that device either by adjusting some of the IMEI digits or replacing the IMEI completely with another IMEI.

In the tech world, Android device IMEI are the most tweaked because of the open source nature of the OS and the ease it offers to manipulate such device.

When you tweak the IMEI of a device by completely changing the IMEI to another device IMEI, the tweaked device can behave in some ways as the device that the IMEI was used.


Thus you easily hear people say that they want to tweak their android IMEI to that of Blackberry IMEI.
Since we have covered before a detailed guide on how to tweak devices (android) IMEI, you can easily refer to it immediately above this. We always sound it loud and clear that IMEI tweaking of devices is prohibited in many countries and hence you should endeavour to check whether the prohibition law is applicable to your region before going ahead to tweak any device IMEI.

And if the laws of your country permit IMEI tweaking then I wants to wrap up by saying, Happy IMEI analyses and IMEI Tweaking!
