IMEI serial number validator

Client

IMEI serial number validator clarifies the six-digit serial portion within the 15-digit IMEI—not the alphanumeric device serial on the back panel. Paste IMEI for Luhn plus serial segment readout.

IMEI serial vs device serial

IMEI serial is embedded in the 15-digit modem identifier. Product serial numbers on labels are manufacturer asset tags—do not interchange them on carrier forms.

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

Common use cases

  • Compare serial segments across two IMEIs from the same TAC batch.
  • Train QA on difference between IMEI serial and product SN.
  • Document serial segment in RMA tickets after Luhn pass.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Validating product serial number as IMEI

    Device SN uses different format—paste decimal IMEI from About.

  • Expecting serial segment to prove manufacturing date

    Segment order is OEM-specific—not a public date decoder here.

  • Using serial validator for SIM ICCID

    ICCID validates with SIM tools—different length and Luhn context.

FAQ

Where is the serial in IMEI?

Typically digits 9–14 of a valid 15-digit IMEI after the 8-digit TAC.

Same as iPhone serial number?

No—Apple SN is separate from the modem IMEI serial segment.

Does validator check uniqueness?

No—shows segment digits only; no global uniqueness database.
