What is IMEI (Identification number, Serial number)?
IMEI is a terminal identification number and is an acronym for International Mobile Equipment Identifier.
It is a unique number held by the device, unrelated to the phone number or line contract.
There may be instances where it is required for procedures.
How to check IMEI
＜Checking on the phone number input screen＞
If you enter *#06# on the phone number input screen of your mobile phone, a 15-digit number will be displayed.
This number is the IMEI.
- There are some models that do not display it using this method.
＜Checking from the settings menu＞
- If it is not listed here or the procedure is different, please check the instruction manual.
