All brands →What is an IMEI number
The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique 15-digit identifier for every mobile device. The first 14 digits are standardised by the GSM Association; the final digit is a Luhn checksum.
Unlike a SIM card, which links to a user, the IMEI is hard-coded to the hardware — the only reliable way to identify a specific handset for warranty claims, insurance, or lost/stolen reports.
Once flagged, an IMEI can be blacklisted globally, rendering the device useless regardless of SIM swaps.
Device decoding for every network
DeviceDecoded provides device intelligence without the gatekeeping. By analysing the TAC (Type Allocation Code) — the first eight digits of an IMEI — our engine pinpoints the exact manufacturer and model.
Verify warranty status, check whether a second-hand phone is blacklisted, or pull detailed hardware specs before a repair — across SIM-lock status, carrier history and technical specifications, for any device on any network.
Dial *#06# on any phone to find its IMEI and start a free lookup.
