Imei which simply means International Mobile Equipment Identity is a unique number to identify GSM, WCDMA, iDEN, and other satellite phones. It’s mostly fifteen(15) digits on every mobile phone.
You may find one line of this IMEI number on certain phones but it’s usually two on Dual Sim mobile phones which is

Must be 15digits not less or more.
What Is IMEI Used For?
IMEI number is mainly used for identifying a device, its network service provider and can as well help block stolen phones from accessing device network service.
Images can also help you identify an original device. Copyrighted phones may tend to have IMEI numbers but may either be less or more than 15digits. You can take a look at proven signs to know/identify original phones. Or How to know fake or copyrighted devices.
