IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It is a unique identification number assigned to mobile phones and some satellite phones. Each device has a unique IMEI number that helps identify and track it in case of theft or loss.
The IMEI number is typically a 15-digit code that is used to identify the device on a mobile network. It is usually found printed on the back of the device, underneath the battery, or on the device's original packaging.
Mobile network operators, law enforcement agencies, and manufacturers can use the IMEI number to blacklist stolen or lost devices, preventing them from being used on networks.
