Jul 8, 2016 8:43 AM in response to pveipatboby Phil0124,An IMEI number is an identification number used by your carrier. Apple also may use to find the warranty status of your iPhone.
Who or what exactly asked you for your IMEI number?
There is no where to put an IMEI number without knowing why you were asked for it, or by who.

Jul 8, 2016 8:46 AM in response to Phil0124by ChrisJ4203,I'm beginning to wonder if this has something to do with the beta. It seems there have been a lot of questions about entering an IMEI number, but no one has responded to get clarification.

Jul 8, 2016 8:57 AM in response to ChrisJ4203by Phil0124,Interesting, I was not aware of this. Its possible the Beta enrollment may be asking for it, but having no experience with it, can't say for sure.
This OP has asked the question 3 different times. And not once have they explained any further.
Until such time as the OP decides to actually explain who or what asked for their IMEI and what they were doing when they were asked for it they will get no answers.

(at no point in installing a beta user profile and downloading and installing a beta release is it necessary to even know one's IMEI number)

Jul 8, 2016 9:01 AM in response to Phil0124by ChrisJ4203,I'm not really aware either, but I'm just guessing, since there have been a plethora of posts regarding iOS 10 beta today. I wonder if anyone reads the terms for using beta and the NDA they agree to.
