IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. This is a 15-digit number unique to your mobile phone. Think of it like your phone’s identity card. This number tells you about your phone’s model number, manufacturer, and country of origin. This number even lets you locate your phone if you happen to lose it.
It is a standard followed by all manufacturers, and will tell you if your phone is legit or not. IMEI is also helpful in locating your stolen and lost phone.
