MEID Luhn check

Client

MEID Luhn check names the algorithm explicitly—distinct from VIN mod-11. Decimal MEID bodies use Luhn mod-10; hex bodies with A–F use Luhn mod-16. Paste to run the matching radix.

Luhn vs other checksums

IMEI uses Luhn mod-10 on 15 digits. MEID decimal uses mod-10 on 18 digits; MEID hex uses mod-16 on 14 characters. VIN uses mod-11—validate each with the matching Toolcore page.

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

  • Cross-check engineering samples against 3GPP2 spec documents.
  • Explain mod-10 vs mod-16 when auditing mixed identifier CSVs.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Applying VIN mod-11 weights to MEID strings

    MEID uses Luhn doubling, not ISO 3779 position weights.

FAQ

Do MEIDs use Luhn?

Yes—mod-10 for decimal bodies, mod-16 for hex bodies containing A–F.
