MEID hex format

Client

MEID hex format under 3GPP2 splits 14 hex characters into reporting body (2), manufacturer code (6), and serial (6), plus optional Luhn mod-16 check digit. Paste to validate structure—not carrier assignment tables.

Section breakdown

Characters 1–2: reporting body. 3–8: manufacturer code. 9–14: serial. Optional character 15: Luhn mod-16 check digit.

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.
