public String getDeviceId ()
Since: API Level 1
Returns the unique device ID, for example, the IMEI for GSM and the
MEID or ESN for CDMA phones. Return null if device ID is not available.
Requires Permission: READ_PHONE_STATE
Note that at least for GSM phones, the user can insert a new SIM card
with a new phone number, or change the number assigned to the same card.
So a phone number, while unique, does not identify the device.

Um. I know that if I dial *#06# it would return the IMEI number, but each
carrier might differ so it's probably not a good solution, I would stick
with the cellphone number since that's accessible.

First off thanks to everyone who responded with input. My next question
would be is my app able to access the MEID or the IMEI number or is that
something that can't be accessed?

I can confirm for you that the MEID is most certainly not the same as
ANDROID ID. Furthermore, MEID is unique to CDMA phones, so my T-Mobile G2,
for example, does not have one. It has an IMEI instead. Like any other GSM
phone.

You could use ANDROID_ID, but be warned that I have found devices
that return null for this value.

Hey evereyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to get a unique ID for the users
phone. I imagine the IME and Serial Numbers are unique to each
phone right? Is there a way I can request the IME number or the
serial number or is there another number I can request that is
unique to each phone? This is used to help secure login to an app.
Thanks,
Tommy
