how can i get IMEI code from iphone simulator?

A:
You can't. It's not something you can do with the iPhone SDK.
You can get the iPhone/iPod's Unique Device Identifier (UDID), but not the IMEI, Serial or phone number.

i doubt that the simulator even has an IMEI somewhere... what would it be needed for?

You're correct, the simulator has no IMEI, only a physical iPhone would have one. iPods won't have one either, which is probably why there's no access to it.

IMEI is an HW code of each phone. You can get phones' IMEI typing: *#06*. In iPhone simulator there is no IMEI.

I'm not sure that it's possible - besides which, Apple will moan if you publish software which does that on the AppStore...

As others stated - you cannot get IMEI through public API. If you want to obtain some device identifier to use in your application you must use uniqueIdentifier property defined in UIDevice class - it is there for exactly that purpose.
NSString* uniqueID = [UIDevice currentDevice].uniqueIdentifier;
FYI, you can obtain IMEI using private frameworks - see this question, but your app will be rejected from app store then.
