Question

Do it yourself

Colleagues, is it possible to somehow determine the IMEI of the user's phone when the user accesses the mobile version of the site from his smartphone? And is it possible to automatically substitute it into the form on the mob. site?
The scenario is as follows: a user enters the site from a smartphone and must submit an application for phone repair, we need the following data:
- Full name
- Date of birth of the person
- Model / type of device (if the release date can be determined, then super)
- Serial number (IMEI)
- Number phone
- E-mail address
Which of these can be determined automatically and inserted into the form by auto-completion?

Answer 4

The first, most effective solution, in my opinion,
To force the user to pay first, and then only let him enter IMEI - only a competent chargeback mechanism will need to be done

Answer 5

Using the phone number, you can request the IMEI, current country, provider, roaming status from the operator using the HLR request (Home Location Register) via the SMPP gateway. One number definition costs about the same as one SMS or less - depending on your SMPP operator.
PS Oops, only IMSI not IMEI.
