I'd like to have an unique identifier for a cell phone. Since there is not a particular way to find IMEI or IMSI on every mobile, I want to know if there are other ways to find an unique identifier for a cellphone. Can anyone suggest a way?
A:
Update:
Make a service call to server and there generate a unique identifier using UUID [preferred way]
Now on mobile device recieve this UUID and store it in RMS.
Its not related to Bluetooth[UUID]

[Psssh, here's the JavaME API, do you see `java.util.UUID`?](http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javame/config/cldc/ref-impl/cldc1.1/jsr139/index.html) This answer is in essence wrong.

@BalusC I know there is a class UUID in ME for sure but reference i had given may be of SE, i hope you are talking about that

At least not in JavaME. See also the link. You've to homegrow it or take another library. This is often provided by the API of the underlying platform.

@BalusC No , Its there in default environment for sure.

Yes, the API of the underlying platform. Your `java.util.UUID` link is at least misleading.

A:
You can use just time in millis if you don't need strong UID. Or you can get UUID implementation from J2SE and port it to J2ME. In this way UUID should be stored in RMS. One of the best way is to build server side and distribute app only via this service. When new user try to download app you can put into manifest and jad any UUID you want and use it in your app via MIDlet.getAppProperty( String uuidPropertyName );

A:
If your target device has JSR82, you can use LocalDevice.getLocalDevice().getBluetoothAddress() -- that's unique.
