The International Mobile Equipment Identity, more commonly known as IMEI number, is a unique identifier for cell phones. Whether you own a middle-range Huawei Nova 5T or a Samsung Flagship Phone, the IMEI number is a useful instrument when you’re trying to locate a lost or stolen phone. Depending on your device, here are some ways you can find your IMEI number.

Method 1: Dial *#06#

Step 1:

Check your IMEI using a phone dialer. Input *#06# on any phone and a box pop up with your IMEI number will appear as soon as you finish dialing the code.

Step 2:

Since your IMEI number is not possible to copy and paste from your phone’s display, you can either take a screenshot of it or jot it down on a sheet of paper.



Method 2: Using an iPhone

Step 1:

In your iPhone, find the Settings menu.

Step 2:

Once you’ve located the Settings menu, go to General and tap About.

Step 3:

Scroll to the bottom of the page until you see your iPhone’s IMEI number. Hold it for 2 seconds until a Copy bubble pops up, then tap it.



Method 3: Using an Android

Step 1:

Open the Android Settings menu found in your App Drawer. Scroll down until you find the About Phone section. Tap it.

Step 2:

Once you’re in the About Phone section, scroll down again to find the 15-digit or 14-digit IMEI number. To record it, get a pen and a sheet of paper and note it down.



Method 4: Check Your Phone’s Packaging

Step 1:

Locate a barcode label stuck on your device’s original packaging box.

Step 2:

Together with the barcode is a serial number and your phone’s IMEI number. To record it, you can either jot it down on a sheet of paper or take a photo of it using your phone’s camera.
