Information on Equipment Identity Register (EIR)

The GSM equipment identity register (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 (EIR):

  • grey - GSM mobile phones to be tracked
  • black - barred GSM mobile phones
  • white - valid GSM mobile phones
