It could’ve been stolen and knowing where to find the IMEI is important for both providing information and finding it for yourself. This keeps it from being used and the most often you might run into this is if you’re buying a used phone that has a SIM card or phone number already.
Major companies and phone services can block an IMEI number or lock it when a phone is reported as stolen. It’s a way to find the device, and track what it does in the mobile networks for the IMEI. They do similar things but are not the same thing. Most cellular-enabled devices have both a serial number and an IMEI number.Serial numbers are numbers that come from the manufacturer and are more for the device itself instead of whether or not it connects to data. It’s also been described as essentially your phone’s fingerprint globally. IMEI numbers help to identify devices on a mobile network globally. An IMEI is an acronym for ‘International Mobile Equipment Identity.’ It’s like the Social Security Number for a phone that can connect to the cellular data through your carriers.
