The International Mobile Station Equipment Identity or IMEI on a smartphone is a unique set of numbers and letters that identifies your phone or tablet. If you are wondering where you can locate the IMEI number on an Android smartphone, you can find it within the settings of the device using these steps.
- Tap “Settings” from the Home screen.
- Scroll toward the bottom and tap “About phone“, “About tablet“, or “About device“.
- Tap “Status“.
- Select “IMEI Information“.
- The IMEI is listed on the screen.

Hi Mitch,
I’m trying to find the IMEI number on a new Tablet (no carrier, I don’t use it as a phone). I’ve followed the instructions, but there is no reference to an IMEI number anywhere in ‘Settings’.
Anything else I can do? I need this to run ViewRanger.
Thanks
Joanne
