Tracking Iphone Through Serial Number

There are basically two types of numbers that can help identify your handset. One is the serial number that we were talking about in the introduction and the other is a specific reference number that is assigned to every iPhone individually. This reference number has several other names and it is also known as the IMEI, ICCID and even MEID and the reference number depends all on the network at which your iPhone is being operated.

Every AirTag has a unique serial number, and paired AirTags are associated with an Apple ID. Apple can provide the paired account details in response to a subpoena or valid request from law enforcement. We have successfully partnered with them on cases where information we provided has been used to trace an AirTag back to the perpetrator, who was then apprehended and charged.

Want to know how to track and find your Mac using the serial number? In this blog article we look at whether this is possible, and what steps can be taken to protect your Mac from loss or theft in the first place.

For the above six iPhones it is possible to find the serial number in Settings and the IMEI/MEID (the MEID is the first 14 digits of the IMEI) on the back.

Similarly, once you need some support but you are not able to open the Settings menu, you can use the IMEI/MEID instead of the serial number.

Barcode's method

If none of the below options were suitable for you, yet you still have the original package of your device there is one more possibility to find these numbers! It is truly the simplest way to locate IMEI/MEID or serial number.

File a police report with your local police department. You may need to first locate the device's serial number, which you can find in iTunes by navigating to "Preferences," "Devices" and then hovering over the name of your last backup. If you registered your product with Apple, you can also locate the serial number by visiting My Support Profile at the Apple website.

Foundrop is a powerful property tracking and crime prevention tool that helps police departments and others identify owners of lost and stolen properties by using serial numbers. Instead of you having to look for your property, Foundrop allows your property to find you when you lose it or have left it behind at places like airports, airplanes, coffee shops, restaurants, taxi cabs, hotels, buses, trains, schools, parks, amusement parks or anywhere else.

Anyone can run a serial number through Foundrop, but they cannot see who you are or where you live. They can only send you a message through Foundrop telling you that they have found your property or have turned it over to a third party. Only Law Enforcement can see whatever optional contact information you have entered into your account and then only when they find property registered to you. Foundrop gives you the control to enter all, or some of your contact information.

Suppose that while you're at work, the police make contact with a suspicious character whom they suspect to be in possession of stolen goods (like your smart phone or computer). When they run the serial number of those items through Foundrop, they will see your contact information and will immediately attempt to contact you directly. If your home address is on record, law enforcement can be dispatched directly to your home and secure your residence until you arrive.

Now think about all of your property that have serial numbers: electronics, video, audio, tools, bicycles, musical instruments, sporting equipment, weapons, appliances, watches, and so on. Without the serial number how could any finder know that it belonged to you if it was lost, stolen, or left behind? Law Enforcement use serial numbers to track lost and stolen property that is reported to them, but over 95% of us don't record serial numbers which means over 95% of these items are never returned to their rightful owners. This means without tracking your serial numbered items you have a 100% less chance that you'll ever see your property again. By utilizing Foundrop you have a 100% better chance at getting lost, stolen, and left behind property quickly returned.

Most serial numbers are located on the back or side of items such as notepads, notebooks, laptops, DVD players, game consoles and other electronic items like these. It will be marked as "Serial Number" or "SN". This is the number you want to enter as the unique identifier.

Though this is not common with the types of items you will lose or have stolen, if you want to apply a unique number you can. Construction companies face this issue with their expensive equipment that may not have serial numbers so they create their own unique number which they weld or engrave onto their property.

If you find property on the street or at a park, or other public venue and you think the owner may not know where they lost it, or that a thief may have discarded it there, we suggest the following: Search for the serial number on Foundrop. If there is no match returned, create a Find. This will allow us to notify the owner when he tries to register his lost or stolen item with Foundrop. In this case, we recommend you don't hold the property for more than 36 hours before contacting law enforcement and turning it over to them.

Every iPhone has a unique serial number, which can be used to identify the specific handset you own. You may need to know the serial number of your iPhone if you're unlocking it through your carrier, having it serviced, or selling it.
