When you register your phone with Fortress, we will ask for your IMEI number. This is a 15 digit long number that is unique to your phone. It helps us identify which phone you have and is an essential part of insuring it against loss and theft.
There are several ways of finding this number. Some methods allow you to copy and paste the number, but others do not. It is best to grab a pen and paper and carefully write it down somewhere safe. It is essential to get it right, as this will be used if you ever need to make a claim.
Method 1: Using your phone dialer.
- Open your phone dialer, just as if you were making a phone call.
- Type *#06#

What if you have 2 IMEI Numbers?
Do not worry, some phones have more than one IMEI number because they can have more than one SIM card. It’s actually quite common on phones. If you see more than one number, just choose the first one and enter that into the Fortress registration page.
