IMEI number

Hi everybody,

Does anyone know exact meaning of every single number in IMEI number? How can I recognize phone model from IMEI. I know how to recognize manufacturer but my info's are too old.

Thank you adrianpopa,

now I can recognize manufacturer, don't you have any further idea how to recognize phone model number? I found that eg. Nokia FAC could be 60 and Alcatel could be 60 as well, Ericsson 51 like Sony, Siemens. So I am still confused. If any one find sth. which could help I might Appreciate that.

Would be great. I found another stuff, TAC number is 100% related to model, but last 4 digits in TAC number are some time same E.G. Siemens A40 is 0019 and Ericsson T18 is the same. If I recognize whole TAC can't make mistake. Anyway is hard to find those numbers I have gone through about 500 phones but to get numbers for whole range of phones is madnes. So if anyone is interested I can send a list of mdels and TAC numbers which I found.

Thanx for help
