MEID check

Client

MEID check is the head term for validating a 3GPP2 Mobile Equipment Identifier before MDM intake, legacy CDMA inventory, or OCR cleanup. Paste below for local Luhn arithmetic and reporting-body/manufacturer/serial split—no live carrier query.

How to run a MEID check

Copy 14–15 hex or 18–19 decimal characters from the device label or MDM export. Paste into the field—spaces and hyphens are stripped. Read check pass/fail, expected trailing digit, reporting body, manufacturer code, and serial fields.

Privacy: checksum math runs locally in your tab. Toolcore does not query carrier or TIA MEID databases—format and Luhn check only.
?

CDMA MEIDs appear as 14 hexadecimal digits plus an optional check digit (15 total), or as an 18-digit decimal form with its own check digit. Hex values containing A–F use Luhn mod‑16; all‑ decimal hex uses Luhn mod‑10—same family as IMEI on GSM handsets.

Result

GSM devices use IMEI instead—open IMEI checker when the label shows a 15-digit decimal identifier.

Common use cases

  • Confirm label digits match MDM export before fleet spreadsheet import.
  • Batch-check MEID columns in logistics CSVs before ERP upload.
  • Train staff why one check-digit typo fails Luhn even when hex looks plausible.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming checksum pass proves clean activation or ESN clearance

    Only the algebraic Luhn relationship is verified here.

  • Mixing decimal paste into a hex-only column without conversion

    Decimal MEIDs use 18–19 digits; hex uses 14–15 characters—length guards differ.

FAQ

What is a MEID check?

Strip separators, accept 14–15 hex or 18–19 decimal, run Luhn mod-16 (hex) or mod-10 (decimal) on the body—no carrier database.

Does MEID check query carrier blacklists?

No—format and check-digit math only in your browser.
