For an Iphone what does IMEI?

Not just iPhone, all GSM network phones have an IMEI number. Think of it as a serial number for the specific phone. Phones that are made for CDMA networks have an ESN, which is almost the same thing, only different.

IMEI is short for International Mobile Equipment Identity and is a unique number given to every mobile phone

Its an error

IMEI is the unique identification number assigned to every cell phone. Two cell phones can never have same IMEI or IMSI.

IMEI is basically the serial number. Not unique to iPhones. All phones have a serial number & usually can be given if you dial *#06#

Its a unique number like a serial number for your hardware

  • What does it mean when your IMEI is unlocked on iphone 4s? My dad found an iphone 4s and it was disconnected (no service).so he restarted it with itunes.today we checked the IMEI # online. It said it was unblocked. What does this mean? Btw it is from at&t But does this mean that i can go to like tmobile or something and connect it there? Or do i still have to get it factory unlocked? Tmobile costs too much for a monthly pay. Are there any other ones that will connect an at&t phone with about 50 dollars / month
