MEID validator

Client

MEID validator searches want the same workflow as MEID check: normalize characters, enforce length, run Luhn on the body. This page names that intent for bookmarking and support macros.

What the validator enforces

Hex: exactly 14 body characters plus optional check (15 total). Decimal: 18 body digits plus optional check (19 total). Luhn mod-16 for hex bodies with A–F; mod-10 for decimal bodies.

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.
