How do I check the IMEI on a BlackBerry phone?

Dial *#06# on the phone to display its IMEI, then enter those 15 digits into a lookup to identify the exact BlackBerry model and confirm the checksum is valid.

Can an IMEI check tell me if a BlackBerry phone is stolen?

Not a free one. A free lookup reads the make and model from a public device database and validates the checksum. Lost, stolen and blacklist status lives in carrier and police databases that are not publicly accessible.

Enter a BlackBerry IMEI below to identify the exact model and validate its checksum. It is free, needs no account, and nothing is stored. We hold 28 BlackBerry models across 96 registered TACs.

How to find the IMEI on a BlackBerry phone

Dial *#06# — the IMEI appears immediately, and this works even if the device is locked.
Open Settings → About phone and look for *IMEI*.
On older BlackBerry OS devices, remove the battery — the IMEI is printed on a label beneath it.

BlackBerry no longer manufactures phones. These handsets still identify correctly from their IMEI, but there is no current warranty or manufacturer support to check against.

What an IMEI check can and cannot tell you about a BlackBerry

The free check tells you

• The manufacturer and model the IMEI belongs to.
• Whether the 15 digits pass their checksum.
• The TAC, serial and check-digit breakdown.

It cannot tell you

• Whether the device is lost, stolen or blacklisted.
• Whether it is carrier-locked or still under warranty.
• Whether it is signed out of its previous owner's account.

Those last three live in carrier and police databases that are not public. Any free tool claiming to check them is guessing. The full explanation.

Device data comes from a public, manufacturer-publishable TAC dataset. It records which model a TAC belongs to and nothing else — no specifications, no release date, and no per-unit history. It may be incomplete or out of date.
