How to Read IMSI From a SIM

1. Dial '* # 0 6 #' and press 'Send' to have the IMSI number displayed on your phone. Although this code may not work on all phones, many devices are configured to display the number after you enter this code.

2. Locate your phone's status settings to locate the IMSI number. For example, on Android devices, press 'Menu,' 'Settings,' 'About,' 'Phone' and 'Status.' The IMSI number will be listed under a section of the screen labeled 'IMSI.'

3. Remove your phone's battery cover and battery to locate the IMSI number. When you cannot find the number on the device itself, you are likely to locate it on the compliance panel inside the battery compartment.
