How to locate the IMEI number on your cellphone

The IMEI is like the barcode that’s embedded on your mobile phone, allowing you to do the things you love such as call and send SMS. With the IMEI number, you can actually deactivate a mobile phone rendering it useless – you won’t even be able to sell it. Wham! Bam! Kerpow!
The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number is on all GSM and UMTS mobile phones, commonly found in Europe, Asia, Africa and increasingly in America. Cingular & T-Mobile are the major US carriers but there are growing numbers of regional carriers who are switching to GSM like Centennial Wireless, Highland Cellular, Dobson Cellular to name a few. Mobile phone companies can use the number to identify valid subscribers and the type of equipment used. The carrier could thus use the number to remotely disable the phone in the event it is stolen or reported lost and customize data content to be compatible with the type of equipment used, among other things.
If you are curious to knowing what your phone’s IMEI number is, check this post on WikiHow.
List down your IMEI number and store it somewhere safe. If your phone gets lost, report the phone’s IMEI number to your local telco and they will do an immediate system lockout.
I’m not sure if your mobile phone number is linked to the IMEI – this may happen in the case of prepaid phone lines that do not necessarily have to be monitored by the telco since billing occurs via prepaid cards. Can anyone confirm this?
