Getting IMEI within an EVC program

---

Does anyone know how to programmatically read the IMEI using embedded visual C. I have tried the TAPI lineGetGeneralInfo function but this always seems to return an error, as it requires TAPI extensions which don't seem to work. Is there any other function or API which returns this info?

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to use the SimGetRecordInfo() function. The IMEI is stored at address 0x6F07.

Thanks,

However this is the Sim's IMSI (International Mobile Subs Identifier) which identifies the country and home network. I am trying to get the phone's IMEI which is the electronic serial no of the phone (to use as part of a secure https validation procedure).

Works great

Thanks

hi all, i tried to above code but it gave me thos following error !
any one can help me plz ?


unresolved external symbol lineGetGeneralInfo referenced in function WinMain



thankx alot

hi alla again
these is nothing wrong else that i forgot to like the cellcore.lib lbrary to my project ops:
the code compiled but it gave me the result of " Unavailable " !
so how do i can get the IMEI ?
i'm using ROM 3.16.13 ENG


best regards

Essa

Two possible answers:

A: Turn the phone on

B: HTC have changed the memory map allocation

I have some debug code behind the stuff I posted earlier to dump the entire contents of the lpLineInfo struct. i'l try and see what teh problem is.

On previous versions they omitted the IMEI or extended the HW id sections.

vpreHoose thanx alot for ur replay..
ur code is working fine the problem is that i didnt load the cellcore.lib for the evc compiler and the other problem is the DeviceID
in ur code u r using DeviceID = 2 while me i must use DeviceID = 0,
so i changed dwDeviceID = 2 to dwDeviceID = 0; and every thing is working fine

can u tell me how do i can get the caller number while mobile ringing ?
i would like to develope a software that assigne a ringing tone to each contact number.

thanx alot

Yea, I was a little bit lazy not to write it to loop through all deviceid's...

:roll:
