The IMEI or MEID number for your mobile phone acts as a unique
identifier for that device. No two devices will have the same IMEI or
MEID, which makes it a very useful tool for tracking lost or stolen cell
phones. You can quickly retrieve and record your phone's IMEI or MEID
number in a variety of different ways, depending on your device.
1
Dialing a Code
1
Dial the IMEI code. You can retrieve the IMEI/MEID
number on virtually any phone by dialing in the universal code. Dial
*#06#. You typically will not need to press the Call or Send button, as
the IMEI/MEID number will appear as soon as you finish dialing the code.[1]
2
Copy the number. Your IMEI/MEID number will appear in
a new window on your phone. Write the number down as it is not possible
to copy and paste it from your phone's display.
Most phones will tell you when the number is displayed if it is an
IMEI or MEID number. If your phone doesn't you can verify which number
it is by checking what carrier you use. GSM networks like AT&T and
T-Mobile use IMEI numbers. CDMA networks such as Sprint, Verizon, and US
Cellular use MEID numbers.

Using an iPhone
1
Look at the back of your iPhone 5 or original iPhone.
The iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, and the original iPhone have the IMEI number
engraved on the back of the phone, near the bottom. If you need the MEID
number, take the same number but ignore the last digit (IMEI is 15
digits, MEID is 14 digits).

networks such as Sprint, Verizon, and US Cellular use MEID numbers.
If you are using an older iPhone, see the following steps.
2
Check the SIM card tray of your iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, or 4s. See this guide
for details on removing the SIM card tray for your specific model. Your
IMEI/MEID number is printed on the tray. If you are on a CDMA network
(Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular), both codes will be printed as one. To
determine the MEID number, ignore the last digit.

Open the Settings app. This can be found on your iPhone's Home screen. This step works for any iPhone or cellular iPad.

Tap General. Tap "About" in the General menu.
5
Tap IMEI/MEID. This will display your IMEI/MEID
number. If you want to copy it to your iPhone's clipboard, press and
hold the IMEI/MEID button in the About menu for a few seconds. A message
will appear letting you know that the number has been copied.

Find the IMEI/MEID using iTunes. If your iPhone won't turn on, you can connect it to your computer and use iTunes to retrieve the IMEI/MEID number.[2]
Plug your iPhone into your computer and open iTunes.
Select your iPhone from the Device menu in the upper-right corner of iTunes and then click the Summary tab.
Click the "Phone Number" entry next to the image of your iPhone. This will cycle through the ID numbers for your device.

Looking Under the Battery
1
Power down your phone. Before removing the battery,
power down your phone using the Power button. This will prevent any data
being lost and keep apps from being corrupted when the power source is
removed.
2
Remove the back from your phone. This method only
works for phones with removable batteries. It is not possible with
iPhones or other phones with affixed batteries.
3
Take out the battery. Gently remove the battery from
the phone. Generally, you will need to push it slightly towards the
bottom of the phone before pulling it out.
4
Find the IMEI/MEID number. The location of this will
vary from phone to phone, but the IMEI/MEID number is usually printed on
a sticker that is affixed to the phone underneath the battery.
If the phone has an IMEI number but you are on a network that uses
MEID numbers, ignore the last digit (IMEI is 15 digits, MEID is 14
digits).
