The IMEI number is a unique 15 digit reference code built into every mobile
phone in the world that is used to help manufacturers, carriers and recyclers
track all the phones.
To get your IMEI number, you have two choices:
Look in the back of the phone, usually under the battery, and you will find a
sticker that shows the IMEI number and the make and model of your phone.
OR
Enter *#06# into your keypad and the phone should report your IMEI number.
When entering the IMEI number, ignore all the punctuation and enter just the numbers.
