What is the IMEI number used for on an iPhone and/or any phone?
Just found it in my settings and I don't know what it's for. Could someone please tell me most of the ways it could be used?
The IMEI number is a number, usually unique, is used to identify many mobile phones. It is usually found printed inside the battery compartment of the phone. It can also be displayed on the screen of the phone by entering *#06# into the keypad on most phones. On a GSM network, it can be used for stopping a stolen phone from accessing that network.

Just wondering if there's any danger in sharing this only through private message and also wondering why he would want it if the phone is broken.
