Apparently read your IMEI and other identifying information, which then can be sent anywhere without further permission (assuming it has network access as this app has)

It requires two permissions:

-Phone calls Read phone status and identity

-Network communication Full network access

I can understand the latter, in particular if in android you can't specify exactly what hosts you need to access but the former I can't understand, or better, I can't stand. I do not want to give every app my identity, not for ads, not for money.

You shouldn't need phone state to identify a device - see http://android-developers.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/identifying...
