How to get IMEI on iPhone?

I'm sure there are reasons you can't do this easily. Auto-unlocker app? I don't think so. I'm sure Apple and AT&T wouldn't like it too much either.

*#06# is the way to get it manually.

You can't get IMEI on iPhone anymore. You may have to use UDID instead. See other answers.

In the past, you could use the header file "Message/NetworkController.h" posted on ericasadun.com. http://ericasadun.com/iPhoneDocs300/_network_controller_8h-source.html (It's been removed now)

You would add the NetworkController.h file and the private framework "Message.framework" to your project, then import that header file to use the original method I found to get the imei number:

NetworkController *ntc = [NetworkController sharedInstance];
NSString *imeistring = [ntc IMEI];

That hack doesn't work anymore. App will be rejected by Apple.

There is no official way to get it, but in Apples private framework CoreTelephony.framework there is a method CTGetIMEI that might help you.

You can't find the IMEI programmatically on the iPhone.
