Ordering
You can use nRF Cloud to order IMEIs for your supported devices. This means you do not need your own TAC range for prototype builds and production-grade batches under 100k devices.
Development kits (DKs) and Thingy devices are delivered with pre-programmed IMEIs, so you do not need to order IMEIs for them.

Listing
The IMEI listing feature allows you to view pre-programmed IMEIs for devices by box ID, as well as view IMEIs for devices that you have previously ordered through the service.
