this will return you a constant value one of the following,

• TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_NONE
• TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_GSM
• TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_CDMA

 

Method to get IMEI Number of the device 

      /**

     * get IMEI number of the device

     * @return String

    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

     * Requires Permission: READ_PHONE_STATE
