What is an IMEI Number?
The International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI) is a unique 15-digit code used to identify mobile devices on cellular networks. Think of it as a digital fingerprint for your phone.
In the United States, carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile use IMEI numbers to register devices on their networks and to blacklist stolen phones. Knowing your IMEI is crucial if you need to unlock your device or report it lost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these IMEI numbers real?
The generator produces numbers that follow the mathematical rules (Luhn algorithm) of real IMEI numbers. While they are valid in structure, they are not assigned to actual devices and should only be used for testing and development purposes.
Will this generator help me unblock a phone?
No. This tool is for generating test numbers and validating structure. It cannot change a phone's hardware ID or bypass network blacklists. Changing an IMEI is illegal in many jurisdictions, including parts of the USA.
What is the Luhn Algorithm?
The Luhn algorithm is a checksum formula used to validate a variety of identification numbers, such as credit card numbers and IMEIs. It helps detect accidental errors in digit entry.
