You might have been wondering, what is IMEI number and what is it used for? Don’t worry, it will be explained here.

About IMEI number.

Every phone no matter how cheap or expensive it might be will have an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. The IMEI number is a 15-digit unique identifier that can help you find a lost or stolen phone.

My Phone History

Android is a touchscreen mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, built mainly for smartphones and tablets. Google commercially sponsors Android, which is created by a group of developers known as the Open Handset Alliance. And it has been around for nearly 15 years.

Now, after having a brief understanding of your mobile phone, let’s proceed.

How can I locate my phone IMEI number?

Perhaps If you ever misplace your phone or it got stolen, you’ll need to provide the IMEI number to law enforcement so they can track down your device. Companies use mobile device identification codes (IMEIs) to track down lost or stolen phones and prevent them from being used on their network by blacklisting IMEI numbers associated with those devices.

Method 1

1. On your Android phone, open the Settings app.
2. Go to About Phone and tap it. In some android versions, you will find it at the top while for some, you will have to scroll down.

3. The number can be found under IMEI if you scroll down.

2. Dial *#06# into the Dialer.
3. And wait for the appearance of the dialog box.
