These are instructions to find your iPhone's IMEI number using several different methods.
ABOUT MENU:
Step One Tap to open Settings from your Springboard.
Step Two Press to select General from the Settings menu.
Step Three Choose About from the General menu.
Step Four Scroll down to find your IMEI number displayed.
DIAL:
Step One Tap to open Phone from your Springboard.
Step Two Press to select Keypad from the tabs at the bottom of the screen then input *#06#.
Step Three Your IMEI number will be displayed on the screen.
BACK ENGRAVING: Your IMEI is engraved on the back case of the original iPhone and the iPhone 5, near the bottom. The MEID number uses the first 14 digits, disregarding the last digit.
SIM CARD TRAY: The serial number and IMEI will be printed on the SIM tray of the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 (GSM model), and iPhone 4S, as shown below.
When an iPhone 4S is activated on a CDMA carrier, the SIM tray displays both the MEID and the IMEI number as 15 digits. The MEID number uses the first 14 digits, disregarding the last digit, and the IMEI number uses all 15 digits.

my imei number 990002270301235, i bought this iphone from internet seller, i would like to know whether it is factory unlocked or not. if it need nano simcard. if it is not unlocked could i unlocked it simply.
Thank you much. This is very helpful because I bought the phone in Ebay from GCI carrier in Alaska. It showed in the specs as factory unlocked but when I tried to use it with Tmobile, it shows as locked and does not let me go to Settings. If I try to activate it from the beginning, it displays a message that the problem is with the SIM card by not being unlocked and can not go forward.
At least now, I have the IMEI and S/N.
i cant activate my iphone plus the sim card tray is wrong and theres no way of finding out the imei!! anyone have any other methods or software that can work out the phones imei?
