What's an IMEI, and where can I find it?

The IMEI number provides the link from your phone to its record in the manufacturer’s database. It’s stored in the central Equipment Identity Register (EIR), it’s unique and it consists of 15 digits.

Your IMEI’s easy to find. Just type *#06# into your cell phone keypad. Or navigate to the ‘Settings’ menu and find it there. You can also find it on your SIM card and under the battery in the back of your phone.

When you unlock your mobile phone, your IMEI is no longer associated with its original network. This gives you the freedom to switch to a different carrier.

Unlocking iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and other iPhone models

If you’re looking for a low cost, low fuss way to remove the SIM lock from your iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus, the best option is to use an online unlock tool like Mobile Unlocked.

All you need to provide is the IMEI number of your phone and Mobile Unlocked can unlock your device remotely in a few clicks.

Using just the IMEI number, our authorized software uses whitelist access to the Apple manufacturer database to remove the lock on your phone and release it from its network.

This done, your device will be permanently unlocked and you can insert a new SIM card and use the device with another network provider. You don’t have to worry about software updates, they won’t reverse the unlock status. Your warranty won’t be affected either.

The process is fast because it’s online from start to finish and doesn’t require any form-filling or admin. There’s also no unlock code to wait for and type in. Your iPhone 8 will be unlocked automatically “over-the-air”. Using an internet or wifi connection, our whitelisted software connects directly to Apple’s servers to input the change at source.

The remote process also means you can keep using your phone the whole time, with updated from our live tracking service.

Even if you know your phone’s IMEI, Mobile Unlocked is crucial to the whole process because its software is whitelisted and authorized to directly access the database where the locking status is stored. That means you can’t manually unlock your phone yourself.

Further types of iPhone unlocking

There are other locking features on the iPhone 8 and other models that can stop you using your device. Here are solutions to some of the most common problems, including a forgotten password or pin code, passcode lock issues and screen lockouts.


How to unlock iPhone 8 Plus using a passcode unlock tool

The best way to unlock a screen locked iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus is by using the 'choose wipe passcode' function on an online unlock tool like Mobile Unlocked.

The big benefit of doing this, is it doesn’t require a factory settings reset.

So you don’t lose any of the data on your phone. It’s also fast and secure.

You can also use it to reset the phone’s Apple ID if you don’t know the current iCloud login, remove MDM lock and unlock iPhone Screen passcode too.

You might enjoy our comprehensive guide on how to unlock iPhone without passcode or computer.

To do any of these, follow these steps:


Step 1.

Go to how to unlock disabled iPhone without iTunes unlocking tool.

Step 2.

Select unlocking mode: Screen lock.

Other options include: Apple ID, MDM iPhone and unlock Screen passcode.

Step 3.

Connect device.

Use a USB cable to connect your phone to a PC or laptop.

Step 4.

Click ‘Remove lock’.

Your unlock will take place immediately and be complete in seconds.



How to unlock iPhone 8 Plus using iTunes backup or Finder

AT&T and apple.com have their own tools for bypassing the screen passcode.

See this guide on an AT&T unlock using our leading carrier release services.

These include: iTunes or Finder.

iTunes will be the go-to tool for this operation for people using macOS Mojave or earlier.

Mac users working with the operating system macOS Catalina 10.15 or later, will need to use the Finder tool instead.

The downside is the end result is an unlocked, but reset and completely wiped phone.

Yes, the passcode will have been erased, meaning you can log in without one or create a new one. But all of the data stored on your iPhone 8 will have been erased too.

That said, the process is effective if a little fiddly and slow.

In short, it means rebooting your device and putting it into recovery mode to force a factory reset.

Here’s how it works:

  • Connect the phone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes backup installed
  • Quickly press and release the Volume Up button
  • Quickly press and release the Volume Down button
  • Press and hold the Side button until the Recovery Mode screen appears
  • Launch Finder or iTunes on your computer
  • Click the iPhone icon in the top left corner of the iTunes window
  • Select 'Summary' on the left-hand side of the screen
  • Click the 'Restore iPhone' button
  • Click ‘Restore’ and ‘Agree’

TIPS:

  • If, during the process, you’re prompted for a password the process may not work
  • Your iPhone needs to have been previously synced to the version of iTunes you use
  • If your iPhone 8 is running on iOS 11.4.1 or later, check the ‘USB Accessories’ settings is enabled
  • This method will not resolve iCloud lockouts


How to unlock iPhone 8 Plus using iCloud’s ‘Find My’ app

The ‘Find My’ app is an iPhone feature on most iPhone models, which can track and lock down your phone if it's lost.

It can also be used to remotely erase all of the data (including your passcode) if you think your device has been stolen.

Like the iTunes unlocking method, when the app erases your phone, your personal data, settings, other passwords and logins will be lost too.

Here’s how to use it:

  • Open a browser on an iOS device with ‘Find My’ installed
  • Log in with your Apple account ID and password
  • Click ‘All Devices’
  • Select your iPhone 8 Plus from the map
  • Click ‘Erase iPhone’

TIPS:

  • If the erase doesn't work, check your device is connected to wifi or the internet
  • ‘Find My’ needs to have been enabled on your device before the phone was disabled


How to unlock iPhone 8 Plus without computer using: iOS 15/16 update

If you’re lucky enough to be running your iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 15.2 or later, you can erase or reset your locked device directly from the lock screen when it’s in security lockout mode.

You don’t have to connect it first to a Mac or PC.

You just need an active network connection.

Here’s how:

  • From your device's Lock Screen, keep typing in your passcode until you get the message to try again later
  • Go back later and repeat this action until you see the ‘Erase ?iPhone?/?iPad?’ option in the bottom corner of the screen
  • Tap ‘Erase iPhone/iPad’, then tap again to confirm
  • Key in your ?Apple ID? password to sign out of your Apple account on the device
  • Tap ‘Erase iPhone/iPad’ again to permanently delete all of your data and settings
  • When the device restarts, follow the onscreen instructions to set it up again and set a new passcode

Amazing!

Thank you MobileUnlocked! This was a much cheaper alternative to buying a new iPhone Pro Max! It couldn’t have been easier to unlock with MobileUnlocked, all I had to do was provide my imei number (it’s so simple and they clearly show you how to do this) and that was that. Amazing service – 100% would recommend!

Tim Lewis 18/04/2023

Super Quick!

It was such a simple and cost effective process! My iPhone Xs was unlocked within no time and I will be returning to unlock my new Apple Watch 4.

Jeffery Brook 15/10/2023

I thought it would be complicated!

I can’t believe how quickly MobileUnlocked handled my request. Looking online, I read it can take up to 60 days to unlock a device, but MobileUnlocked unlocked my iPhone 14 Pro Max in under 24 hours! Fantastic service which I would highly recommend.

Dang Lee 21/07/2022

iPhone 11 Pro is Unlocked

This was such a quick and simple process, all I had to do was provide my imei number (which they tell you how to do) and I had my unlocked iPhone within 24 hours. Thank you MobileUnlocked!

Alex Darby 08/09/2023

Really Easy Process

So quick and simple! I followed the simple instructions MobileUnlocked provided and within 12 hours of placing my order my phone was unlocked. I would recommend this service to everyone and I will certainly be coming back when I need to unlock my next new phone.

Chad Otis 24/01/2023

Such amazing company!

MobileUnlocked are such a fantastic company! They don’t overcomplicate or overcharge, and their staff were both friendly and informative. My phone was successfully unlocked within hours, saving me both time and money. Highly recommend.

Laura Johnston 07/10/2023

Flawless

I can’t fault my experience with MobileUnlocked. I followed the clear and simple instructions on their website and my request was carried out the following morning. The service couldn’t have been easier, and the instructions couldn’t have been clearer. My phone is now unlocked and I can’t recommend this company enough.

V Heggie 07/09/2022

Unlocked iPhone 6

Despite my phone being an older model, MobileUnlocked were still able to unlock it. The instructions were clear and simple, and my iPhone 6 was unlocked in no time (making me a huge saving!). Thank you MobileUnlocked! Highly recommend.
