IMEI Generator (International Mobile Equipment Identity)
Generate valid IMEIs for testing and development. All generated IMEIs are mathematically valid using the Luhn algorithm.
⚠️ Important Notice
The generated IMEIs are only mathematically valid and should be used exclusively for testing, development, and demonstrations. Do not use these numbers for fraudulent or illegal purposes. Misuse of IMEIs may constitute a crime.
How Does the IMEI Generator Work?
The IMEI Generator uses a structured process to create a valid 15-digit number. The IMEI consists of three main parts: TAC (Type Allocation Code, 8 digits), SNR (Serial Number, 6 digits), and a calculated check digit.
The check digit calculation follows the Luhn algorithm, also known as the 'modulus 10 algorithm'. This same algorithm is used to validate credit card numbers and other identifiers. The process involves doubling every second digit, summing the results, and calculating the digit that makes the sum a multiple of 10.
Optionally, you can provide a specific TAC (8 digits) that identifies the device manufacturer and model. If not provided, the tool generates a random TAC using common prefixes from known manufacturers. This results in a mathematically correct IMEI, ideal for developers and test analysts.
