An International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is a unique 15-digit code used to identify a mobile phone device. It can be used to track a stolen device or block it if it’s lost. Depending on the phone model, the IMEI may also be printed on the back of the device or on the SIM tray. If you’re looking for the IMEI number on an iPhone, here are six ways to find it.
