Ever needed to find your IMEI number on your cell and had to pop the battery lid off your phone, take the battery out and then read the super small text? Has that text ever faded or been rubbed away over time? No worries: just type the following code into your phone dialer and presto! Your IMEI will show up!
*#06#
That's it!
This will work on most phones from the last 10 years or so. I'm not entirely sure when this started and with what model of phone, but all modern phones have this function.
What might you need your IMEI for? Well, if ever your cell carrier asks for it, or if you want to check to make sure a phone has not been reported as lost or stolen and hasn't been black listed, this is what you will need to provide to the carrier. Easy!
