MEID manufacturer code

Client

The MEID manufacturer code occupies hex positions 3–8 of the 14-character body (after the two-character reporting body). Paste the full MEID for checksum validation and field split—not model or SKU decode.

Manufacturer code limits

Toolcore displays the six-character substring and validates the full frame Luhn check. Detailed model names require OEM or carrier tables not computed here.

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

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Treating manufacturer code as IMEI TAC

    MEID manufacturer encoding follows 3GPP2 layout—not 3GPP TAC assignment.
