how to get IMEI of a pocket pc?

Is there any API in pocket 2003 can retrieve the IMEI of a pocket pc device?

I found that KernelIoControl function with IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID parameter
can do this.
From msdn it says:

Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE 2.10 and later.
Header: Pkfuncs.h.
Link Library: Coredll.lib.

however, I found no Pkfuncs.h in pocket pc 2003 sdk Include folder.

Does it means this function is not supported in pocket pc 2003 SDK, or do I
miss something to be able to use it?

If this function is not supported in pocket pc 2003 SDK, is there any other
methods to get IMEI( device ID) ?

thx

I have only done it on Smartphone using the lineGetGeneralInfo method.
I don't know if it is working on PPC but you can try to search these
newsgroups for some example on how to use lineGetGeneralInfo.

Yes you can use lineGetGeneralInfo on Pocket PC - the IMEI is returned in
the serial number part of the struct. I don't have any c++ examples of
calling it, but the basic process is:-

lineInitializeEx - initialise TAPI
lineOpen - get a handle to the cellular line
lineGetGeneralInfo - get info structure
lineClose - close handle to line
lineShutdown - close handle to TAPI

You can find PKFuncs.h file from Windows CE platform builder.

Thanks,
