How to read IMEI label on carton or device—identify 15-digit decimal row vs serial or barcode symbology.

Privacy: digits are parsed only in your browser—no carrier or GSMA lookup, no upload. Treat device identifiers like any sensitive paste on shared machines.
?

A 15-digit IMEI is commonly described as eight-digit TAC + six-digit serial + Luhn check digit; the trailing digit should satisfy ISO/IEC 7812 mod 10 on the full string—same arithmetic as debit/credit PAN checks. A 16-digit IMEISVappends two software version digits instead of exposing the standalone check position; carriers may still relate it to IMEI numbering but this page stops at segmentation and does not certify assignment.

Result

Passes Luhn mod 10 on the 15-digit string.

  • TAC (8): 35693803
  • Serial (6): 564380
  • Check (1): 9
