Hi Emiley,
Thank you for choosing Microsoft products and for reaching out to the community.
I understand you're trying to locate the IMEI number for your Surface Go 3 device, and I’d be glad to assist you with that.
Please note that not all Surface Go 3 models support cellular connectivity. Only the LTE-enabled versions include an IMEI number, which is required for mobile network activation. If your device is a Wi-Fi only model, it will not have an IMEI and cannot connect directly to a carrier like AT&T.
To determine if your device supports LTE, you can:
- Check the original packaging or product specifications.
- Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Cellular. If this option is missing, the device likely does not support LTE.
- Look for an IMEI label on the box or under Settings > About > Device Information, if available. How to Locate the IMEI (for LTE models) Option 1: Through Device Settings
- Open Start > Settings.
- Navigate to Network & Internet > Cellular.
- Tap Mobile operator settings.
- Scroll down to find the IMEI and mobile number. Option 2: On the Packaging
- Check the barcode label on the original box. It typically includes the IMEI, serial number, and model information.
- Option 3: Using the Dialer (if applicable)
- If your Surface Go 3 has a dialer app, press
*#06#using the keyboard. The IMEI should appear automatically.
- If your Surface Go 3 has a dialer app, press
If it doesn’t, press the “call” button after entering the code.
