IMEI questions
What is an IMEI number?
A 15-digit identifier unique to every mobile phone. The first 8 digits (the TAC) identify the manufacturer and model; the last digit is a checksum.
How do I find my IMEI?
Dial *#06# on the phone. You can also find it in Settings → About phone (Android) or Settings → General → About (iPhone), on the SIM tray, or on the box.
Does this check tell me if my phone is locked or blacklisted?
No. It validates the number and suggests the model. Lock and blacklist status need a manual review with the original network.
Is my IMEI sent anywhere?
No. The check runs in your browser. Only a small public list file, chosen by the first two digits, is downloaded.
Can an IMEI show the phone’s manufacture date?
No. This public TAC list can identify a manufacturer and possible model, but it does not contain an individual phone’s build date. We do not guess a date from the IMEI.
