Programatically retrieve MEID number for Windows mobile (6.5) phone?

I have many mobile phones whose characteristics I want to enter into a database using the unique IMEI/MEID of each particular device.

What is the best practice for this? I can retrieve the IMEI programatically, but when I compare my C# retrieved IMEI to the IMEI retrieved via the key command *#06# the values are different.

I've seen some info on the web that states IMEI is deprecated and to use MEID. Is this true? I am finding it very hard to find any authoritative info on this subject and any expert answers will be most appreciated.
