Fail to display IMEI using code snippet

Question

When I dial *#06# on my phone the IMEI is displayed. Fine.

But when I use this kind of code :

String imei="*#06#";
Intent cintent= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:"+Uri.encode(imei)));
startActivity(cintent);

(or ACTION_CALL instead of ACTION_DIAL)

... the USSD code is displayed correctly on the dialer (*#06#). But even if I click call the IMEI never shows up (error : "Connection problem or invalid MMI code").

I've been through other similar topics, but found no solution and can't figure how to make it work (my phone is running Android 4.4.4).

Note that I don't want to get the result of the USSD, just have it executed somehow.If it is possible...

Thanks for your help !

We have a different way to get IMEI of device . you can follow the link(possible duplicate).How can I get phone serial number (IMEI)

TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
telephonyManager.getDeviceId();

And you should add the following permission into your Manifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>

thanks for your answer. The idea there was to display the IMEI but I would like to make other USSD calls later on, not just getting the IMEI. – Fred Aug 09 '14 at 22:05
