You can't. It's not something you can do with the iPhone SDK.

You can get the iPhone/iPod's Unique Device Identifier (UDID), but not the IMEI, Serial or phone number.

As others stated - you cannot get IMEI through public API. If you want to obtain some device identifier to use in your application you must use uniqueIdentifier property defined in UIDevice class - it is there for exactly that purpose.

NSString* uniqueID = [UIDevice currentDevice].uniqueIdentifier;

FYI, you can obtain IMEI using private frameworks - see this question, but your app will be rejected from app store then.

IMEI is an HW code of each phone. You can get phones' IMEI typing: *#06*. In iPhone simulator there is no IMEI.

I'm not sure that it's possible - besides which, Apple will moan if you publish software which does that on the AppStore...
