Particle API Feature Request / Improvement - /v1/serial_numbers method should return IMEI for cellular devices #73

Feature Requests

Currently, posting the serial number to the /v1/serial_numbers api returns the device_id, iccid, and platform_id. It would be AMAZING if this API could return IMEI as well. We are using 3rd party SIMs, and if we had this information we could pull the IMEI programmatically in order to activate with our carrier.

Right now, we are manually pulling this data by connecting each Particle Boron to USB, reading the info, and then copying and pasting this into a file. If it were available in the serial_numbers API, we could use our scanner to pull the serial number, make a post request to this API, and then call our carrier's API to authorize that IMEI. This works OK for one off device adds, but we have a large project coming up next year that we need a better solution for.

Bump -- can someone from Particle comment on if this is even feasible?
