What is the "International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) certification"? I've heard of IMEI numbers, but not a "certification".



Can also just give the answer

> a process that verifies that a mobile device complies with the technical specifications of a particular network operator. This certification is typically required before a device can be used on that network.


Not really anyone's responsibility to deliver answers on a platter though.


It also... Just isn't an actual answer. It's just a link to an unsourced Quora "answer" that seems to be a best guess, as well as a response that talks about the Indian process.


Sure, just seems weird at this point to do the effort of finding a source but not just saying what it is


That is seemingly the only result for "IMEI certification" and is wholly unsourced and just seems to be a best guess based on the phrase. Is there an actual source, perhaps from the Indonesian authority that requires it that explains it? Because I certainly can't seem to find it.
