What TAC does the Sony Xperia Z2 use?

The Sony Xperia Z2 is registered to 10 type allocation codes, beginning with 35249406, 35278706, 35287606. Every unit's IMEI starts with one of them.

How do I check if a phone really is a Sony Xperia Z2?

Dial *#06# on the handset and look up the 15 digits it shows. If the first eight match a TAC registered to the Sony Xperia Z2, 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.

Sony Xperia Z2 IMEI check

Every Sony Xperia Z2 carries an IMEI beginning with one of 10 type allocation codes — the first eight digits, which identify this model. Enter a full IMEI below to confirm a device is a Sony Xperia Z2 and validate its checksum.

A worked example for the Sony Xperia Z2

Take the TAC 35249406, 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 6:

35 249406 000000 6

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 Sony Xperia Z2

Dial *#06# — the IMEI appears immediately, and this works even if the device is locked.
Open Settings → About phone → Status and look for *IMEI*.
On many Xperia models the IMEI is printed under the SIM tray cover.

What an IMEI check can and cannot tell you about a Sony Xperia Z2

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.
