Electronic serial number lookup
18 digit decimal code: A 10 digit decimal number to represent the manufacturer, and an 8 digit decimal number to represent the serial number.Examples: 0xA10000009296F2 (using 0x to indicate that a hex value follows), 0hA00000003FF642 (using 0h to indicate that a hex value follows), ff000000b2c63a (without a prefix).
#ELECTRONIC SERIAL NUMBER LOOKUP CODE#
The MEID consists of 32 bits to specify the manufacturer and 24 bits to specify the serial number: The first 4 bits of the manufacturer code are "reserved," and restricted to just a few values. These are 56 bits long, and like ESN's, identify the manufacturer of a mobile device as well as the serial number assigned to the device by that manufacturer. To correct this, convert the decimal number back to hex, then split up the manufacturer (2 characters) and the serial number (6 characters).
This is a little bit easier to detect than the previous improper format, as these will be a maximum of 10 decimal digits (2^32 - 1 =4,294,967,295). not splitting it into 2 characters for the manufacturer and 6 for the serial number).
