How do I find my serial number? MEID, ESN, IMEI, or ICCID number?

When activating your RedPocket Mobile SIM or troubleshooting your device, you may need to know your phone’s IMEI, MEID, or your SIM card’s ICCID. Here’s a simple guide to finding these numbers.

What these numbers mean

IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity):
A unique identifier for GSM devices. Phones with multiple SIM slots have a separate IMEI for each slot.
MEID (Mobile Equipment Identifier):
A unique identifier for CDMA devices. Like the IMEI, it identifies the device on the network.
ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier):
The serial number of your SIM card. Each SIM (physical or eSIM) has its own ICCID.

Important: Do not confuse these numbers with your device’s manufacturer serial number, which is used for warranty and support purposes. IMEI and MEID are network identifiers; ICCID is a SIM identifier.

Find IMEI / MEID by dialing

Open your phone’s dialer.
Dial *#06#.
Your device will display its IMEI (for GSM) or MEID (for CDMA). On dual-SIM phones, you will see multiple IMEIs.

Find IMEI / MEID in your phone's settings

iPhone:

Go to Settings > General > About
Scroll to IMEI (and MEID if applicable)

Android:

Go to Settings > About Phone > Status
Look for IMEI or MEID

Other devices:

Check Settings > Phone Information

Find ICCID (SIM card serial number)

Physical SIM card:

Look on the back of the SIM card. Even nano SIMs have the ICCID printed in small text.

In your phone:

You can find your ICCID number in your phone settings as well. Your SIM's ICCID is listed next to your phone’s IMEI/MEID if the SIM is inserted:

iPhone:
- Go to Settings > General > About
Android:
- Go to Settings > About Phone > Status
Other devices:
- Check Settings > Phone Information

What about eSIMs?

eSIMs also have ICCID numbers, which can be found in your phone’s Settings.
