METHOD 3: Identification through International Mobile Equipment Identities (IMEI)s
The third alternative to comply with AT&T’s Identification requirements is to send AT&T all your unique device IMEI assignments. For your convenience, we have an API for simplified uploading. You can also email a .csv file. See the footnotes at the bottom of this page for more details.
However this data is sent to AT&T, it will consist of the following data elements for each manufactured device:
- Host Device Manufacturer (HOST_MFR) – The manufacturer name as submitted into the AT&T Onboarding Tool (Project One) and reported in the Notice of Network Compatibility (TA Letter) for the Host Device.
- Host Device Model (HOST_Model) – The model identifier as submitted into the AT&T Onboarding Tool (Project One) and reported in the Notice of Network Compatibility (TA Letter) for the Host Device.
- Host Device Software Version (Host_SW_Ver) – The version value as submitted into the AT&T Onboarding Tool (Project One) and reported in the Notice of Network Compatibility (TA Letter) for the Host Device.
- Host Device ID (Host Device Unique ID) – The unique ID assigned by AT&T as the “Device ID” in the AT&T Onboarding Tool (Project One) and reported in the Notice of Network Compatibility (TA Letter) for the Host Device.
An example of the data file in .csv format is as follows:

By choosing this option, you must also provide legacy data for all manufactured devices. The data is needed for all carriers, not just AT&T. The data must be provided to AT&T on a recurring basis, at least every three months, beginning at the time AT&T TA is granted. There are two options to provide this data:
1. Email the above file in .csv format to
iotteam@att.com2. Transmit the IMEI data via an AT&T provided API connection. The API specification document can be downloaded
here. You will need to log in with your Project One credentials, select the tile named Certification Resource Documents, and find the document titled "Device IMEI API Upload Specification Document".
