Final answer:

To get the IMEI number on an iPhone that is locked, you can try dialing *#06#, using iTunes, or checking the original packaging.

Step-by-step explanation:

An IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. Think of it as your phone's fingerprint — it's a 15-digit number unique to each device.

Phone carriers and manufacturers share IMEI numbers to enable tracking of smartphones that may be stolen or compromised.

To get the IMEI number on an iPhone that is locked, you can try the following methods:

  1. Dial *#06# on the iPhone's keypad. This should display the IMEI number on the screen.
  2. If the iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes, you can open iTunes and select the iPhone. Then, click on the 'Summary' tab where you can find the IMEI number.
  3. If you have the iPhone's original packaging, you can find the IMEI number printed on the box.
