My method is quite low-tech: I "discovered" get_imei by looking at the
strings in the About product applet (I have a pre-production device)
and putting the required pieces together to make a dbus-send command
line with --print-reply so I can see the exact type of what is
returned.

get_imsi was even easier... /etc/event.d/tonegen has it blatantly listed...
