There are several ways to find the IMEI number on a vivo phone. The dialler code method is the fastest, but you can also check it through Settings, the retail box, the SIM tray, or your linked accounts.
Method 1: Dial *#06# (fastest method)
This is the quickest and most reliable way to view your IMEI number on any vivo phone.
Quick steps:
- Open the Phone app.
- Dial *#06#.
- A pop-up will instantly display your IMEI number. Dual-SIM devices will show two IMEI numbers.
- Take a screenshot or note the number for future reference.
Method 2: Through the Settings menu
You can also find the IMEI number within the phone's settings.

- Tap Status info, Status, or Device information.
- Scroll down to view the IMEI number.
- Long-press the number if you want to copy it.
Method 3: Check the original retail box
If your vivo phone is unavailable or will not turn on, the IMEI number can usually be found on the original packaging.
Look for a white label on the side or back of the box. It typically contains:
- IMEI 1
- IMEI 2 (for dual-SIM models)

Many vivo smartphones have the IMEI number printed directly on the SIM tray.

On some older vivo models, the IMEI sticker may be located under the removable back cover near the battery compartment.

If your vivo phone is lost, you may still be able to retrieve the IMEI number through your Google account.
Quick steps:
- Open the Find My Device website in a browser.
- Sign in using the Google account linked to the phone.
- Select your vivo device from the list.
- Open the device information section to view available details, including the IMEI number.
Method 6: Through your vivo account or e-warranty card

Quick steps:
- Open Settings.
- Go to your vivo account section.
