Question:
How can I get the IMEI or IMSI number of a phone using Symbian OS v7.0?

Answer:
An extension library called MobInfo has been published on Symbian Developer Network which makes the IMEI and the IMSI numbers available on any Symbian OS v7.0 phone through a consistent API. A sis file is provided which you can embed inside your own sis file. This installs selectively a suitable version of MobInfo onto the target phone. It is intended that , as new Symbian OS v7.0 phones come onto the market the sis file will be upgraded so as to support them. Check the documentation to see that the phone you are targeting is supported by the version of MobInfo you are using.

MobInfo also makes available some other highly useful telephony-related functionality. For details, read the accompanying documentation.
