❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common IMEI questions
What is an IMEI number?
An IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique 15-digit code assigned to every mobile device globally. Carriers and governments use it to authenticate devices, enforce blacklists, track stolen phones, and validate SIM activation. No two devices share the same IMEI.
How do I find my IMEI number?
Dial *#06# on any phone — the IMEI appears instantly. You can also find it in Settings → About Phone (Android) or Settings → General → About (iPhone). It is also printed on your device box and SIM tray.
How do I check if a phone is blacklisted?
Use the official portal for your country: stolenphonechecker.org (USA), ceir.gov.in (India), devicecheck.ca (Canada), or amta.org.au (Australia). Enter the IMEI and it will show blacklist status, carrier lock, and more.
How do I block a stolen phone using its IMEI?
Contact your mobile carrier immediately, provide your IMEI number, and request a network block. Also file a police report — most carriers in USA, UK, India, and Australia require it. Once blocked, the phone cannot connect to any network.
Can someone track me using my IMEI?
Only authorized mobile carriers and law enforcement with proper legal authorization can track a device by IMEI. Private individuals cannot legally track someone using an IMEI. Any service claiming to offer real-time private IMEI tracking is either illegal or a scam.
