Mobile Identification Number

Question

Hi,
I have a requirement to identify the mobile device from its specific identification number. I have studied the differences between MIN, MDN, IMEI etc.
Is that possible to get the identification number in j2me core.
Any ideas ?

Rizz86,
Below is (found on the net) how to get IMEI for some handset vendors.
Looking at it, everyone uses some form of imei in the name of the property, so maybe getting all properties and enumerating through all searching for case-insensitive imei would simply work on most if not all handsets...
I am not sure, whether retrieving MIN or MDN numbers is possible and whether it makes much sense. MDN is not stored within the phone but mapped to the SIM card and MIN is definately stored by the operator.
Please also keep in mind that 10% of IMEI numbers out there might be duplicated, so you might get exceptions now and then.
Anyway, here is the list:
Nokia
      System.getProperty("phone.imei";);
      System.getProperty("com.nokia.IMEI";);
      System.getProperty("com.nokia.mid.imei";);Note ; Requires signed midlet. S60 3rd edition device does not requires signing for this to work.
Sony-Ericsson
  System.getProperty("com.sonyericsson.imei";);Note ; might not work on all model, YMMV
Motorola
System.getProperty("IMEI");
      System.getProperty("com.motorola.IMEI";);
Samsung
System.getProperty("com.samsung.imei";);
Siemens
System.getProperty("com.siemens.imei";);Good luck!
