The GSM EIR database contains information
on the identity of mobile equipment to prevent calls from
stolen, unauthorized or defective mobile stations.
GSM network operators maintain three
lists of international mobile equipment identities (IMEI) in their equipment
identity register :
grey - GSM mobile phones to be
tracked
black - barred GSM mobile phones
white - valid GSM mobile
phones
