What is an IMEI number?

IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique 15-digit code assigned to every mobile device. It identifies your exact phone model worldwide and is used for warranty lookups, activation checks, and lost/stolen registries.

The first 8 digits are the TAC (Type Allocation Code), which tells manufacturers and databases which brand and model the device is. The remaining digits are the serial portion and a check digit.

How to find your IMEI number

The fastest way on any phone: open the dialer and enter

*#06#

iPhone / iPad (iOS)

  • Settings → General → About → IMEI
  • Dual-SIM: use IMEI 1 for checks
  • SIM tray, original box, or purchase receipt

Android

  • Settings → About phone → Status / IMEI information
  • Dial *#06# from the phone app
  • Sticker on box or under the battery (older models)

Why check IMEI before buying a used phone?

Stolen or financed phones can be blocked by carriers. A quick IMEI check helps you avoid costly mistakes before you pay. Here is what a check can help you verify:

  • Blacklist / lost-stolen registry status
  • Carrier lock and SIM-lock status
  • Find My iPhone / iCloud activation indicators
  • Model, storage, color, and serial number
  • Warranty and purchase date (when available)

We provide informational reports for buyers — we do not modify device records, carrier accounts, or locks.
