IMEI
Your Samsung’s unique 15-digit identity number
The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique 15-digit number that identifies every Samsung Galaxy phone. It is used by carriers to block stolen phones from connecting to networks, and by Samsung to verify warranty status. Dial *#06# to view your IMEI. Always check IMEI before buying a second-hand Galaxy — it reveals if the phone is reported stolen, carrier-locked, or blacklisted.
Why It Matters For Your Repair
RepairXpress technicians may check your IMEI to verify warranty status, confirm the device model for parts ordering, and ensure the phone isn’t reported stolen before accepting it for repair. A blacklisted IMEI means the phone cannot connect to any carrier network in Singapore — even after a perfect repair.
