IMEI lookup questions
What is the difference between an IMEI and a TAC?
An IMEI identifies mobile equipment. Its first eight digits form the Type Allocation Code, which identifies a device type or allocation. A TAC does not identify a subscriber or owner, and its model information can be incomplete.
Where do I find my IMEI?
Look in About or Status settings, on the original label or packaging, or use *#06# on a supported phone. A dual-SIM device can have separate IMEIs for each cellular interface.
Does this check blacklist, ownership or warranty status?
A valid check digit only confirms the number’s structure. A device-type match does not establish ownership, lost-or-stolen status, carrier lock, financing, warranty eligibility or network compatibility.
