IMEI numbers
IMEI numbers explained
IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It's a unique number given to every phone and is used to identify it from other phones - just like a number plate for your device. IMEI numbers are usually 15 to 17 digits long.
Finding your IMEI number
- You can find your IMEI number by calling *#06# from your phone (your phone won't actually make a call and you won't be charged).
- Additionally, on most devices, the IMEI number will be printed in small letters on a sticker underneath the battery. For more info about finding your IMEI, check your manufacturer's user manual.
