Which IMEI Number to Use For eSIM in iPhone

If you own an iPhone XS or later or an iPad with cellular capability, using its IMEI number to add an eSIM can be accomplished using *#06# or the Settings.

Apple fans often keep the white box their phones came in, which allows you to access the IMEI number. You can also easily check whether or not your device supports dual SIM with eSIM by visiting your carrier's website or calling client care department directly.

IMEI

An IMEI number (International Mobile Equipment Identity) uniquely identifies each phone. It can be used to track down stolen or lost devices and block carriers from using them on their network, and verify if second-hand phones are genuine purchases.

To locate your iPhone IMEI number, navigate to its Settings app and then General. In this screen you will see not only its IMEI information but also other key pieces of data like Serial Number, ICCID and MEID information. Make sure that you save this IMEI number in an easily accessible place should it ever become necessary in future.

Your phone's IMEI can also be found on its back or in its box; older iPhone models feature this information on their SIM card tray. However, sharing it may expose personal or locational information.

EID

An EID number, or Electronic Identification Device Identification number, uniquely identifies each cell phone. Keeping track of this serial number can help locate your device should it become lost or stolen and also can reveal additional details like model name and year of manufacturing. You can easily find your IMEI number either by dialing *#06# on either iPhone or Android devices or through their respective Settings menus.

Locating your IMEI number by looking at the back of your phone may also work, though this method may prove laborious and time consuming due to being written in tiny print. There are other means available to find it more easily - for instance by scanning bar codes, which contain this number in their serial numbers.

If you have an eSIM, the IMEI and Serial Number can be found by going to Settings > General > About on your phone and signing into Apple ID with Wi-Fi connection enabled. Once there, navigate to About page to view these details.

IMMOTE

IMEI numbers are assigned to every mobile device, providing an effective way of tracking its location and detecting criminal activity that may have taken place. They may also be used to block stolen devices from accessing networks.

To locate your iPhone's IMEI, use the Settings app's General menu and navigate to About, where you'll find its serial number and IMEI displayed below. Alternatively, dial *#06# on either phone or tablet for this display of numbers.

If you have an older iPhone and are searching for its IMEI number, simply pop out its SIM tray and look at its number printed there. Alternatively, visit your carrier website where most will list its database with this device's IMEI.

eSIM

Some smartphones support an eSIM feature in addition to traditional SIM slots, enabling you to have two numbers or contracts on one device - which is especially handy for business use. Before making your decision, be sure to verify whether or not it supports this feature and follow your carrier's instructions for activation if applicable.

Your network provider may require that you either manually install an eSIM or scan a QR code when setting up an eSIM. To manually activate it, follow these steps: 1. Launch your iPhone Settings, selecting Cellular Data or Mobile Data, 2. Tap Enter Information Manually at the bottom of your iPhone screen 3 Paste in eSIM information provided by carrier 4 Tap Activate this Line 5 If asked provide PIN/password
