What is IMEI?
IMEI is a unique device identification number, that is unrelated to your phone number or service contract.
It is an acronym for International Mobile Equipment Identifier.
It may be necessary to check the network usage restriction status of your mobile phone or smartphone, or when using device compensation services.
Please refer to the following information on how to check the IMEI.
Checking on the phone number input screen
If you enter *#06# on the phone number input screen of your mobile phone or smartphone, a 15-digit number will be displayed.
This number is the IMEI.
There are some models that do not display it using this method.
