MEID
Mobile Equipment IDentity
An ID number that is globally unique for each new CDMA mobile phone in the world. It identifies that phone to the network, and can be used to flag stolen or lost phones.
MEID is a replacement for ESN (electronic serial number). MEID began replacing ESN in 2005.
ESN numbers are 32-bit, while MEID numbers are 56-bit.
A 32-bit ESN means there are only 4 billion unique ESN numbers. Combined with other constraints, enough CDMA phones were produced by the end of 2005 that the industry started to run out of unique ESNs.
With 56 bits, MEID provides for over 16 million times as many unique numbers as with the ESN system, ensuring the world will not run out of numbers again.
However, MEID support must be added to all new CDMA phones, and all CDMA networks must be upgraded to support MEID.
MEID is equivalant to IMEI for GSM and WCDMA phones. MEID is also designed to be compatible with IMEI for phones that include both CDMA and GSM/WCDMA technology.
NAM
Number Assignment Module.
A part of the phone that stores a wireless device's phone number, lock code, timer reset code and other user information. The NAM is programmed by the service provider when a device is activated. The NAM also associates the Mobile Identification Number (MIN) with the Electronic Serial Number (ESN).
hope that helps

Hello there,
I thought I had lost my phone so I called my operater to block it. I found my phone later but now I can't use it will take it more easy with drinks
Is it possible to unblock it?
yes phone your network provider who will then process the unblock via your imei number through the networks but then i suspect if your phone really was legit you would have already done this.
Anyone unblocking a Mobile that has been barred by a Network Provider will be commiting a Crime under UK Law, unless it is un-barred or unblocked by the Network Provider that Blacklisted the IMEI number in the first place.
just call your network
job done

I called VZW and got my unlock code, and I have unlocked it so that I can use another Sims, but while the other Sims is on the phone, or even without a Sims card I can still make phone calls. This is a problem as I unlocked the phone so that I could use Sims on India, where I'm traveling in 2 days...tips?
A call to VZW clarified my questions. While on CDMA inside USA the phone does not use the SIM card, with a T-Mobile Sims card on the phone, I switch to GSM and the phone inmedially registered the T-Mobile card and new number. If I happend to be abroad, and I have my Verizon/Vodaphone Sims inside, the CDMA network will then use the Sim to register on the network.

Unlock?
So how does Verizon give out this unlock code? I have an Imagio but I whodinied it and have it on metroPCS. I would like to unlock the phone to use AT&T or T-Mobile.
Call global support and tell them you will be going overseas. They give you the 8 digit unlock code, you enter it. Poof. I can use my neighboor's AT&T SIM and be her .
You do not need the SIM in the US to make calls on Verizon.

Even if I don't have the Imagio activated with Verizon? Is the password different for each phone? How do you enter this password? You dial it in?

Yes they are all different, they generate the code from your IMEI ( kind of like a cars VIN number ). *#06# will give you the IMEI.
Just tell them you are going abroad and not using Vodafone and that's it. 800-711-8300 Option 2.
IMEI is under Start/Settings/System/Device Information/ Version Tab
You enter the 8 digit code under
Start/Settings/Personal/Security
Good Luck!
They denied it, they said I needed to have the $29.99 plan plus the $39.99 unlimited data plan. WTH???
Any other alternative?

*#06# didn't do anything, even tried the "TALK" afterwards, nothing, nada.
Any other trick in getting the IMEI?
Who did you buy it from, who is your carrier? You probably should call your carrier if Verizon won't help you.

I figured it out, had to switch to GSM mode before dialing the *#06#
Im boricua also, and have the Imagio on metroPCS, trying to get GSM working when I go to PR I can call out with same phone.
You *DO* have to have a qualifying Verizon account. I asked and the minimum account you need is the $29.99 and you also need the $39.99 unlimited data plan addon. Too much IMHO. If you have the Imagio on another network (like I do) then here is a service which is in our pocket's reach...I submitted my IMEI and will post results as soon as I get my unlock code.

Hey would you please help me whodini my hTC Imagio to cricket as well?
PLEASE
LOL! Whodini is a metroPCS flashing tool, not sure if Cricket uses the same software. Try calling Cricket to see if they will add the MEID of the phone to their network or if you actually have to take it in to one of their stores to have it done. I can guide you how to provision it once the MEID is on their netowrk...
I am looking for the data settings for T-mobile. Can anyone help?
While I was abroad in India, I used my company's T-Mobile Sims card, from which I send SMS and also used voice but no internet as I had my data OFF, what I did not know was that they still charged my Verizon account 16 bucks of data fees. Apparently since the phone is global it still was recognized on the India network as it was trying to connect to their network, in other words, just the fact that the phone was trying to connect to their antennas counted as data transfer!!! I rather pay for unlimited international data plan next time I'm abroad and it would have being the same amount of money...sucky
Hey yall, I just got to israel and I had purchased an N1 banking on the fact that it was carrier unlocked... I just popped in the new israeli SIM card and every 5 seconds an error message pops up saying com.android.phone has stopped, this doesn't happen in airplane mode so I don't know what to do. Back in the states I had popped in an ATT sim and it worked fine.
it is unlocked but only to certain carriers and certain radio frequencies. american ATT and Tmobile I know work, cant tell you much about Israel though. What carrier are you trying to get it to work on and maybe we can see if the radios match up.
Yup, it is unlocked. There is something else going on wrong there. Try reseating the SIM card? Maybe you got a bad SIM card?
It's celcomm israel, could it be a CM 6 error?

hmm, the Nexus should definitly be able to pick up those 2G bands atleast. Call the cell carrier and see if it is on their side, i heard somewhere that some carriers block other cells unless you give them the IMEI to unlock service, or something like that.
Well, I just popped in my bro's Orange SIM and it works fine... But mine is cellcom so that may be the issue.. it is also a USIM card not regullar sim, could that be it?
it's definitely not a frequency thing, GSM is 900/1800 which the N1 supports and UMTS is 850/2100 which your phone supports
in terms of why the sim card won't work, try going to a cellcom store, one time i got a bad sim from them so who knows
Well, I found the right APN settings, but when I type them in and hit save it doesn't add itself to the list, I typed them in without the SIM card in to avoid the force closes, but when I put the sim back in, I still have the force close issues

isnt a USIM completely different technology? i thought that is what CDMA carriers in the states use, or the nextel technology uses. i dont think that is a gsm network...

no that's CSIM, USIM is just a SIM for UMTS (3G) networks
Force closes aren't connected to anything being locked, they're OS error.
USIM or no USIM doesn't matter. Nexus works 100%, with both Cellcom and Orange. In fact I've installed FRF91 on one with Cellcom SIM, and it works fine.
Reinstall stock or close-to-stock FRF91 and check again, if it fails - exchange the SIM.
You won't see the APNs in the list unless you have the SIM inserted, and if you've added APNs without SIM - they're most probably worthless (unless you've entered MCC and MNC, which are taken from the registered network when you have the SIM installed). APNs show in the list only when their MCC and MNC match those of the carrier. When you use MarketEnabler or MarketAccess, for example, the APNs disappear from the list until you revert back to normal.

Okay before I go any farther, some definitions are in order.
UICC = Universal Integrated Circuit Card
SIM = Subscriber Identity Module
USIM = Universal Subscriber Identity Module
RUIM = Removable User Identity Module
CSIM = CDMA Subscriber Identify Module
The UICC is the physical strata or card where the DATA is stored. SIM, USIM, R-UIM and CSIM are applications or modules flashed onto the card.
The SIM application (which is used in GSM networks) contains information about the users account and other relevant information that the handset will use to communicate with the mobile network.
The USIM application (which is an update to the SIM application and is used with UMTS [3G] networks) again, stores user account DATA and other relevant info required by the handset to operate on a mobile network.
The R-UIM was originally developed as an add-on to the SIM application to allow CDMA networks users to have the same functionality as a GSM user where by the user could change his/her handsets ad hoc. With the added benefit that a CDMA user could remove their R-UIM and insert it into an unlocked GSM phone and utilize like they would their own phone, thus allowing for seamless billing across foreign (roaming) networks.
The CSIM is an update to the R-UIM where by the USIM application is added to UICC to allow for seamless roaming across different types of mobile networks.

I would like to know if i have to register your esn meid with cricket before you flash a phone over.
Hi every one...
First.... my phone is not blacklisted...
I live in Venezuela, here we have 3 mobile carriers, my phone only recognize one carrier (just the one that I don't use) the other two recognize the sim card but no signal error, in just one opportunity one carrier says that this phone can not be used... I purchase this phone in Colombia unlocked it there and them brings it to Venezuela... So it's not blacklisted... I want to try changing the IMEI number and try... the carriers here don't has the phone in blacklisted neither...
Any advise...
Thanks you so much

when it isn't blacklisted then there also isn't any need to change the IMEI.
It is also illegal in many jurisdictions to do what you're asking (not sure about Venezuela, though).
Sounds most like the phone not supporting the wireless bands used by the other carriers. Many phones, especially low-end ones, only support the bands for the carrier they are built for; any other carrier if they work it's either luck or means you checked the cellular band compatibility list.
Another possible explanation is just that the phone doesn't have the APN for the other carriers, and therefore can't access their networks (though usually this would at least let you get calls/SMS). That can be fixed by looking up the correct APN and setting it manually in Settings->Cellular.
