What Is an IMEI?

An IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique 15-digit number assigned to every mobile phone. Your wireless carrier uses this number to verify that your device is compatible with its network.


What Is a Digital SIM IMEI (eSIM IMEI)?

The Digital SIM IMEI, also known as IMEI2, is used specifically for eSIM activation. If you're activating an eSIM with Total Wireless, you'll usually be asked to provide this number instead of the physical SIM IMEI.
