It’s important for you know what the IMEI of your Samsung Galaxy S5 is, as this number is a serial number that will allow the smartphone to be identified correctly. For those that don’t have an amazing memory, it’s recommended that you write down the IMEI of your Samsung Galaxy S5 after the purchase. This will allow you to prove that you own the smartphone in case the Galaxy S5 gets stolen and you want to retrieve it back.

This number represents the IMEI of your Samsung Galaxy S5. Since the IMEI number is a unique serial number, you should write a note and keep it safe. Because if the smartphone is lost, it can be traced through this number, whether the phone is yours or not.

The IMEI or International Mobile Station Equipment Identity is a unique number for each device to identify it. The IMEI number is used by GSM networks to check if devices are valid and the Samsung Galaxy S5 is not stolen or blacklisted. Completing an IMEI number check for Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile will make sure that Galaxy S5 is usable. The IMEI number of your Samsung Galaxy S6 can be found with this three methods:

Find out the IMEI via the Android system

To find the Samsung Galaxy S5 IMEI from the phone itself, you need to first turn on the Galaxy S5. Then once you have gotten to the home screen, go to the phone settings. Then select on “Device Information”, and click on “Status”. Here you can see various information entries of your Samsung Galaxy S6. One of them is “IMEI”. You’re now seeing your IMEI serial number.

IMEI on packaging

Another method to find the IMEI number on the Samsung Galaxy S5 is to grab the original box of the smartphone. Here you can find a sticker on the back of the box that will provide you with the Samsung Galaxy S5 IMEI number.

Show IMEI via service code

The final way you can locate the IMEI number on your Galaxy S5 is by using a service code. To do this, you need to first turn on the smartphone and go to the phone app. Once there, type in the following code in the dialer keypad: *#06#

All Samsung products will have the Model Number and Serial number on the device itself somewhere, usually it's on the back closer to the bottom. Sometimes it's hard to read because of the colour of the product, and the text can be small on phones, tablets and wearables. If it's too hard to read on the product itself - check the box the device came in, as the Serial Number will be there too. In Australia, if you buy a phone or tablet that takes a SIM, it is required by law to put the IMEI on the sale receipt.
