As you may or may not know, every phone has a unique 15-digit number known as its International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI). This number can be found in several places, such as the SIM tray, battery, or even on the phone’s box. With this identifier, the network has everything it needs to know about your device, including the device type, brand, model, and color. On top of revealing the identity of your device, the IMEI can also be used to verify if your device is compatible with the network and if it’s authorized to be used with that plan.
