Where to find the IMEI

Dial *#06#: Works on almost every phone. If nothing appears, press the call button.
Settings: About phone on Android, or General → About on iPhone.
The box: Printed on the barcode sticker of the original retail box.
Dual SIM?: The phone has two IMEIs. Either one is fine.

Why it matters when selling

The IMEI is the one number that ties a record to a physical handset. Recashy partner shops validate and record it on every purchase. A mistyped IMEI makes the paperwork worthless, which is why this same check runs at their counter.

A valid check digit does not mean a phone is clean. To check whether an IMEI is blocked, see check if a phone is stolen.
