A. One of the locations for your "IMEI" requires you to remove the battery. Underneath the battery there is a 15 digit number with the word "IMEI" displayed next to it. BEWARE: sometimes Sidekick phones are sold refurbished and the housing was changed and might show the IMEI from a different Sidekick but not yours. The REAL IMEI can always be found by pressing *#06#. Better use the IMEI by pressing *#06# to get it from the display. Another method to get the REAL "IMEI" requires you to turn on the Sidekick.

Scroll down to "Device ID" which is a 15 digit number.

Note: Your sidekick will turn off, then will turn on again. While your phone is unlocking, your sidekick track ball will turn blue.
