You may have heard the term ‘IMEI’ when being asked to talk about your device or when you are looking to trade-in / sell your phone. But what exactly is an IMEI and where do you find it?
IMEI stands for ‘International Mobile Equipment Identity’, which is a unique number that helps identify every individual mobile device.
When we repair phones, using the IMEI is a secure way to track the item and ensure the correct device is worked on and directed appropriately.
A standard IMEI is a 14-digit number sequence that typically appears in the format XX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-X
Still reading? We don’t want to bore with you the facts… so let’s get looking for your IMEI!
There are multiple ways to find your IMEI:

Alternatively, you can dial *#06# from your device. Your IMEI number will then be displayed on screen.
