let's jump right in I've seen this question in so many for online where people asking whether or not your phone can be hijacked or hacked using the IMEI number first of all you need to know what an IME number is the IME number stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity that simply means it is just a way of identifying your mobile device so what is the IMEI used for it is a way of identifying your mobile equipment hardware like your phone if it gets missing the only way of identifying whether or not it is a particular iPhone that belongs to mr. a or mr. B or a particular iPhone that belong to mr. C or mr. D is using the IMEI number because that is the only way the police or any other law enforcement agent can identify a particular Hardware just like you have your vehicle identification number or engine number on your car that's the only way the ownership of a car can be tied to a particular vehicle as against another copy of the same brand and model of the vehicle so that is the same way the IMEI helps to identify the hardware that this is the particular hardware that for example that you bought and that got stolen now the next question will be can your phone be tracked using the IMEI number yes combination of your phone number and the IMEI number of your of your device can give the mobile telecoms operator a way of identifying that okay this is the particular individual that owns the particular device and that has a particular phone number so using the signals from the telecoms tower it can be identified by the telecoms company that okay this is the particular device that has a particular number that is making a phone call you know something like that so the only people that can really make sense of the IMEI number is a telecoms operator that is how they are able to identify when you buy a new phone for example like the telecoms company in my in my country gives you some bonus when you get a new phone which means once your number moves from a particular device to another device they assume that you've bought a new phone and they can give you some freebies as a result so let's address the elephant in the room can your phone number be hijacked with just the IMEI number the answer is no because just like your car cannot be stolen with just the VIN number then your phone cannot be hijacked using the IMEI number because it is just a way of identifying the hardware and it does not give the person that has access to that information any specific access to your operating system it doesn't give the person any access to your apps it doesn't give the person any access to your to your phone basically so someone that has access to just your IME number does not really have a lot of chance if he or she is trying to hack your device or take over or control your device the only group of people that would be able to do anything to your device using the IMEI number would be the telecoms operator or the law enforcement walking hand in hand with the telecoms operators I hope that is able to clear your curiosity with respect to I am in number and the safety of your device when it comes to your device being hacked or taken over using the IMEI number if this post was useful to you please comment us and subscribe to the website we will see in the next post !
