Siemens ME45 IMEI check

Every Siemens ME45 carries an IMEI beginning with one of 15 type allocation codes — the first eight digits, which identify this model. Enter a full IMEI below to confirm a device is a Siemens ME45 and validate its checksum.

A worked example for the Siemens ME45

Take the TAC 35017070, 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 0:

35 017070 000000 0

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 Siemens ME45

  1. Dial *#06# on the phone's keypad — the IMEI appears immediately, and this works even if the device is locked.
  2. Open Settings → About phone and look for *IMEI* or *Status*.
  3. Check the barcode label on the original box.

What an IMEI check can and cannot tell you about a Siemens ME45

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 It may be incomplete or out of date.
