Just need to know something, IMEI location if Phone stolen and have no package or...

[makkahn28]

I need to ask, when a cell is stolen or lost, if one doesn't have their IMEI on hand or any package with, how can one get the IMEI# per say?

Does a Carrier have an ability to get when Sim is in Phone?

If Phone was from Telus?

Carrier logs are extremely comprehensive.  They can pull IMEI information, what towers the phone was connected to, when, etc.  It's scary how detailed logs are.  The information is also kept for a very long time.

Carriers can definitely see what imei was used on your account.

Very good and interesting question. If you bought this phone from telus then I am sure they can provide you the IMEI.
If you didn't buy the phone from telus then probably not.
Please call telus to get the IMEI asap. Thanks.
