The IMEI number is as important to your mobile phone as a car’s Plate number is to it. IMEI simply stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity and this unique number can be a live saver in some cases.
Your IMEI number can be used to track and trace your lost mobile phone; can also be used to block access to the device as well as also prove your ownership of your devices. Mobile network providers also use the IMEI number to account for the number of valid subscribers as well as the type of equipment used on the network.
So where and how can you find your IMEI number on your iPhone, Android, Windows phone or even Blackberry?
The method has been around for ages and would continue to be relevant; to do this simply dial *#06# on your phone dialer. It is the same 15-digit unique number usually printed in the device battery compartment.
The above IMEI USSD code actually works on feature phones (Nokia Torchlight and the Likes), Symbian phones and almost all original handsets.
