What TAC does the BlackBerry KEY2 Le use?

The BlackBerry KEY2 Le is registered to 7 type allocation codes, beginning with 01513800, 35678709, 35678909. Every unit's IMEI starts with one of them.

How do I check if a phone really is a BlackBerry KEY2 Le?

Dial *#06# on the handset and look up the 15 digits it shows. If the first eight match a TAC registered to the BlackBerry KEY2 Le, the IMEI belongs to that model. This confirms what the device claims to be — it does not prove the device is unmodified, unlocked or legitimately owned.

BlackBerry KEY2 Le IMEI check

Every BlackBerry KEY2 Le carries an IMEI beginning with one of 7 type allocation codes — the first eight digits, which identify this model. Enter a full IMEI below to confirm a device is a BlackBerry KEY2 Le and validate its checksum.

A worked example for the BlackBerry KEY2 Le

Take the TAC 01513800, add a six-digit serial — 000000 here, so this cannot be a real device — and the fifteenth digit is forced. Run the Luhn algorithm over the first fourteen and the check digit must be 1:

01 513800 000000 1

Change any single digit and the checksum stops matching — which is exactly what it is for. It catches typing mistakes, and nothing more. How the Luhn check works.

How to find the IMEI on a BlackBerry KEY2 Le

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.

What an IMEI check can and cannot tell you about a BlackBerry KEY2 Le

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.
