     */
    public String getIMEI(){
        return mTelephonyMgr.getDeviceId();
    }

This will return you a unique device ID.

Method to get IMSI Number of the device

    /**
      * get IMSI number
     * @return String

 /**
     * MSISDNdepends on the SIM, some times can return null or empty string
     * @return String

    }
