GSMA Device Database is typically used for MDM (Mobile Device Management) services. Mobile operators, their agents or organisations providing services to mobile operators, often need to establish the type of device and characteristics in use from the IMEI. The device’s details can be looked up in the Device Database through the TAC (taken from the IMEI).
Services that use Device Database are:
- Over-the-air device configuration
- Device customer care
- Network performance management
- Promotional offer management
- Web content purposing
- Advertising
- Insurance assessments
- Trade-in programmes
