IMEI Explained

Understanding Your IMEI Number

An IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique 15-digit number assigned to every mobile device. It's the fingerprint of your iPhone β€” no two devices share the same IMEI. Here's how the 15 digits break down:

35 460 9
123 456
7
TAC (8 digits)
Type Allocation Code β€” identifies the manufacturer and device model
Serial (6 digits)
Unique serial number assigned by the manufacturer
Check (1 digit)
Luhn checksum to validate the IMEI
πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: Dual SIM iPhones have two IMEIs

iPhone XS, XR, and all later models support Dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Each SIM slot has its own IMEI. When checking a dual-SIM iPhone, you'll see IMEI 1 and IMEI 2 listed separately in Settings β†’ General β†’ About.

FAQ

IMEI Check FAQ

What information does an IMEI check reveal?
+

An IMEI check reveals the device model, carrier network, SIM lock status, blacklist/stolen status, warranty expiry date, Find My iPhone status, activation lock status, and country of original purchase. Premium services may also show full carrier history and repair records.

Is it safe to share my IMEI number?
+

Sharing your IMEI for the purpose of checking its status is generally safe. The IMEI itself cannot be used to access your personal data, Apple ID, or make calls. However, avoid sharing it on public forums or with untrusted parties, as unscrupulous sellers may use it to clone device identities.

My IMEI check shows "locked" β€” what now?
+

A "locked" result means your iPhone is tied to a specific carrier. You can usually get it unlocked by: (1) Contacting your carrier directly to request an official unlock, (2) Using a reputable third-party IMEI unlock service. Check our IMEI Unlock guide for step-by-step instructions.

How accurate is the free IMEI check?
+

The free basic check validates the IMEI format using the Luhn algorithm and provides estimated carrier and model information. For comprehensive results including real-time blacklist database checks and full carrier history, a paid check from a specialized service is recommended, especially when buying a used device.
