Why in the configuration of samsung Kies, I do not see my phone number? I amrece the number of another person. It's very strange happens to someone else?
Hello people,
how can i check the IMEI of my TF101?
I already had a look at
Settings -> About Tablet -> Status
but the only thing i was able to found out is the serial number.
IMEI has to have 15 numbers instead of 16 like the serial number.
Any software solutions around to get it?
Thanks!
Will it have an IMEI if it's not 3G?

as far as im aware i would agree with the above no need for an imei as its not on a 3g network
As has been said earlier, the WiFi TF doesn't have an IMEI because it doesn't have a cellular radio!

Hey everyone
Just a little confusion as I am trying to register my nexus with Walmart warranty service
They are asking for a serial number and a model number
Is the serial number the number that starts with c90 or is it the number found on the settings, status, and then serial number?
Also what is the model number and where on earth can I find it?
Thanks

A model number is the same for all devices of a particular product line. For instance, all Nexus 7 models would have the same model # that identifies them as nexus 7 models. A serial number is specific to just one device only. It may have similar numbers or letters, but the last digits are often sequential and unique. No two device should ever have the same serial number just like no two mobile phones ever have the same IMEI. A serial number not only identifies a specific device and can be used to identify the owner when registered, it can also identify the time, date, batch, revision history and location of manufacture, things that can be very important in the event of a recall or defective product. My N7 has a sticker on the back bottom with the serial # on it. It should also be on the original packaging.
I have a SM-G900V and it does not have a serial number behind the battery nor within the settings menu. Samsung said that they did not manufacture these phones with serial numbers. Is everyone else missing a serial number? I heard the international version of the phone has a serial number.
So, I see previous thread have been blocked. This IS about a stolen phone, but not about stealing a phone....
My son had an S10+ stolen, and the insurance are not paying up.
He believes he has identified the phone on sale... saying it is unlocked and operational.
Assuming the phone provider DID block the original IMEI...
Questions:
Is it even possible to change the IMEI?
If it has been changed, and labels removed, can the phone be identified subsequently?
Can the 'new' IMEI be traced (i.e. is it a GUID, or is there a list of valid IMEI codes somewhere?)?
Is there a 'block' of IMEI assigned to Samsung? - i.e. if it now has a random one, can a random one be identified as fraudulent?
If it's a clone IMEI, can you go from IMEI to original phone model?
Grateful for any advice,
Simon
Hi mate
Tough situation....
To your questions:
Is it even possible to change the IMEI?
Yes , there are ways to do it but you need special equipment
If it has been changed, and labels removed, can the phone be identified subsequently?
Depends on how good this people are, that information is in the efs partition you need equipment and somebody who knows how to check it
Can the 'new' IMEI be traced (i.e. is it a GUID, or is there a list of valid IMEI codes somewhere?)?
Yes , there are pages like this (there are others), place the imei of the suspected phone there , usually you will get back information as if is blacklisted or to what phone model has been assigned to , usually when the imei is replaced this people uses imei´s from old phones
Is there a 'block' of IMEI assigned to Samsung? - i.e. if it now has a random one, can a random one be identified as fraudulent?
See above reply
If it's a clone IMEI, can you go from IMEI to original phone model?
Not sure what you mean but I think the above reply should answer your question. Each Imei is unique and is assigned to a particular phone , if you check an IMei it will tell that belongs to a Samsung S10 for example
If you have the IMEI of the suspected phone it will be easy to find out if it has been tamper with it, to find out the original IMEI may be another matter

With the page I gave you if you introduce your son´s phone imei it will give you the Samsung serial number of the phone, that may be something that they may have not changed, if you can get your hands on the suspected phone check Settings /about phone there it will show you the Samsung serial number.......

Hi, the imei and serial number is printed on the back of the device at the bottom.
Your welcome
Sounds very fishy. You can call carrier and report it stolen. Yes, if you claim u purchased the phone, u should have the original box with the imei printed on it
