What is an IMEI?

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It's a unique 15-17 digit number that identifies your mobile device on the cellular network.

Every phone, tablet, and cellular device has a unique IMEI. It's used by networks to identify legitimate devices and can help track stolen or lost phones.

How to Find Your IMEI

On iOS (iPhone/iPad):

  1. Settings → General → About
  2. Look for the "IMEI" field

On Android:

  1. Settings → About Phone
  2. Look for "IMEI" or "Device ID"
  3. Or dial *#06# on the phone's keypad

On the Device:

Check under the battery (if removable) or on the back of the device.

On Packaging:

The IMEI is often printed on the original box or packaging.

  • ✓Identify the device — Match the IMEI to a device brand and model.
  • ✓Track intake for repair — Repair shops record IMEIs for every device that comes in for service.
  • ✓Manage device inventory — Keep a clean record of devices handled.
