Answer 1

For IMEI does it

    TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    String IMEI = tm.getDeviceId();

with

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

Answer 2

Make use of TelephonyManager , like following lines:

 TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE); GsmCellLocation location = (GsmCellLocation) tm.getCellLocation(); String IMEI = tm.getDeviceId(); int lac = location.getLac(); ... ...

Also, you should use the permissions:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_UPDATES" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

Hope it helps.
