    Hi

    Ask the store where you purchased iPhone they will have a record of this

    Also look on the papers that came with the iPhone .

    Cheers

    If you have the box the phone came in, the box will have the IMEI number on the same label as the MEID number:

    I ran across how to find that 15 number IMEI on Pinterest BEFORE you have a lost phone. I have done this so I know it works. Once you get the 15 digit number put it in a safe place in case you need it if your phone ever does get stolen. They say the police can find it with this number even if the phone number has been changed. Dial *#06# and make sure to write that number down and keep it in a safe place.

    Dialing that does not work on all phones. It doesn't work on my carrier, Verizon. Settings>General>About will work regardless of carrier.

    Call your service provider and ask them.  They will know that or at least can find the decimal equivalent which is just the 14-digits you have plus a check digit that is rarely used for anything and certainly is not needed to locate a device connected on a network.
