Checking Your IMEI

Every modern cell phone - whether it’s an iPhone, Android, or a basic model has a unique International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. This number is highly significant as it serves multiple purposes, including checking if a device has been reported stolen and verifying a phone for trade-in. There are several reasons you might need your IMEI, and fortunately, there are various methods to obtain it. If you're uncertain about where to find your IMEI number, don't worry. We have a detailed guide to help you.

Many cell phones have a built-in, quick, and easy method to discover your IMEI number using the phone dialer. This technique is compatible with numerous phone models. We tested it successfully on a Google Pixel 7 Pro, iPhone 8, and Samsung Galaxy Note 20. However, it may not work on all devices. Ensure you use your phone's default dialer app (avoid third-party apps like True Caller) when entering the number. If this method doesn’t work, explore the other options listed below. To obtain your IMEI number, dial *#06#. There's no need to press the call button. After entering the code, a pop-up will appear displaying your IMEI number and other essential phone information.

With your IMEI number in hand, you can now select an option from the IMEI Dropdown menu above and submit your IMEI to check its status. Once submitted, we not only provide the status but also include comprehensive device details related to the Type Allocation Code (TAC) of the IMEI you provided.

The TAC is a key component in identifying your device and offers valuable information such as the device's dimensions, network frequencies, screen size, and hardware specifications. For instance, the dimensions give you an idea of the physical size and weight of your device, while the network frequencies indicate the bands your phone can operate on, ensuring compatibility with various carriers. The screen size details help you understand the display characteristics, including resolution and pixel density. Additionally, we provide hardware specifications such as processor type, RAM, storage capacity, and camera features. This thorough analysis ensures you have all the essential information about your device, aiding in better understanding and effective utilization.

While we strive to provide accurate and reliable details about your device, including information from our data providers, TAC details, and wireless carrier information, occasional errors may occur. This is because we rely on data from external sources, which can sometimes lead to inaccuracies.
