TAC Decode

The first 8 digits of an IMEI are the Type Allocation Code (TAC). They identify the device's make and model. Paste either an 8-digit TAC or a full 15-digit IMEI.

Our local snippet covers high-volume Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy US models. A full TAC database has hundreds of thousands of entries; KAKEL contributes back to public datasets where possible. For B2B-grade TAC + provenance lookups, see the Risk API.
