Which of the following is a unique 56 bit number assigned to a CDMA handset?
A
Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN)
B
Electronic Serial Number (ESN)
C
International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI)
D
Mobile Equipment ID (MEID)
Correct Answer:
D
The Mobile Equipment ID (MEID), also found under the battery cover, is a 56 bit number which replaced the ESN due to the limited number of 32 bit
ESN numbers. The MEID is listed in hex, where the first byte is a regional code, next three bytes are a manufacturer code, and remaining three bytes are a manufacturer-assigned serial number.
