About your IMEI

IMEI numbers are used to combat theft by "blacklisting" or blocking a stolen device from accessing any mobile network. This is done by the device's owner, who contacts their network provider to report the device as lost or stolen.

You will also need your IMEI to confirm device compatibility for eSIM.
