Nokia Checker IMEI numbers

IMEI numbers are printed within the battery cavity on most devices. As for iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 (GSM model), and iPhone 4s, remove the SIM tray. The serial number and IMEI will be printed on the SIM tray as shown below.

For iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, and iPhone 5 and other devices or tablets, your IMEI is engraved on the back case, near the bottom. The MEID number uses the first 14 digits, disregarding the last digit.

3. On Your Device’s Packaging

IMEI numbers are printed on the original packaging of your device.

    I’ve updated the software & later I was not able to play the songs that were pre-loaded on my hand-set. Can I resolve this on my own? Your help on this is appreciated.
