Confirm the authenticity of the device and its specifications

Every sale of a gadget comes with a risk of being counterfeit or not matching the specifications advertised - this can either occur intentionally or by mistake. The IMEI check serves as your assurance that your phone aligns perfectly with the brand and model you originally acquired, verifying its presence on the manufacturer's official database. Furthermore, it's a valuable tool to confirm that you haven't inadvertently received a different variant of the device, be it an unexpected color or storage capacity.

Devices often come equipped with activation locks and SIM restrictions

These security measures, integrated by most manufacturers, play a pivotal role in safeguarding your personal data in the unfortunate event of loss or theft, effectively thwarting unauthorized access and use by any other party. Many mobile users don’t realise this feature is active by default, or forget to disable it when selling the device. In addition to potential activation locks, some phones may come with a SIM lock that limits their usability to a single carrier within a designated geographic area. Conducting an IMEI check empowers you to identify and address these limitations effectively.

Accurately evaluate a gadget before you buy or sell it

While you can personally inspect a device for its physical condition and operational functionality, it's important to remember that this only reveals half of the story. To make a fully informed decision when buying or selling a gadget, leveraging an IMEI check is crucial for comprehensive evaluation.
There are many other factors that you can’t physically assess, which can drastically affect the value of a device… That’s where IMEI checks can help! By taking into account the age of a phone, warranty period, blacklist history, specifications, and the presence of activation or SIM locks, you will know exactly what a gadget is worth on the market.

Check Your Device's IMEI

In order to meet your expectations, our commitment to staying up-to-date means we're continually adding fresh device information and specifications on a daily basis

How is the IMEI number used?

left
The acronym "IMEI" stands for "International Mobile Equipment Identity," and it's a distinctive 15-digit code that serves as a universal identifier for every cellular device. This IMEI number is generated and assigned to the mobile device during the manufacturing process, remaining constant throughout its lifespan. You'll commonly find this IMEI number physically displayed on the device, whether it's inside the battery compartment, engraved on the phone's rear, or located on the SIM card tray. Alternatively, you can access it through a more standardized method by dialing *#06# on your phone, a feature typically integrated by most manufacturers, or by navigating to the device identifiers within the settings app/menu.

It's important to note that the IMEI number is what networks use to identify your phone, distinct from your SIM card. Each SIM card houses its unique identifier within the chip, known as the "IMSI" or "International Mobile Subscriber Identity" number. This number embeds the country and carrier of the intended network, as well as identifying the specific user of that network. Therefore, networks have access to both your customer ID (from the IMSI) and device ID (from the IMEI).

A relatively recent innovation in the world of mobile technology is the introduction of "eSIM," which is an abbreviation for "embedded-SIM." This technology is gaining prominence for its ability to revolutionize the way we connect and manage cellular plans on our devices. This is basically a SIM card that is already installed in the device, which you can’t see, replace or remove, but can be programmed remotely to switch carriers. It’s considered the next generation of SIM card, and is becoming more and more common. Despite being a distinct form of SIM card, an eSIM still necessitates its unique IMEI for proper identification and functioning within a device. Therefore, if a device has both a SIM card slot and an eSIM, then it will have two IMEI numbers, referred to as “IMEI” and “IMEI2”.

The IMEI number serves a multitude of purposes, with one of its paramount functions being the capability to render a lost or stolen phone inoperable on a network. In the unfortunate event of theft, a phone's owner can initiate the process of blacklisting the device's IMEI number through their network provider. This action results in an immediate prohibition, preventing the stolen phone from connecting to any network services. Unlike the SIM card, which can be swapped out, the IMEI is an intrinsic device identifier that remains constant. Consequently, changing the SIM card won't circumvent a device blacklist. When a phone is on the blacklist, it's essentially rendered incommunicado, unable to make or receive calls or texts and barred from accessing mobile data, except when connected to a WiFi network.

As part of the global initiative to stop mobile theft, carriers often work with each other to share their databases of reported phones, therefore if one carrier blacklists your device, you can expect all other networks in your country to also block access from your phone. A blacklist can only be removed by the carrier who issued it, and they will require authorisation from the owner of the device in order to remove it.

There are so many other uses for the IMEI number, especially by manufacturers, which can produce much more information about a device. Our website offers much of this for free, such as the blacklist status, warranty information, model, device specifications and Find My iPhone status. Performing an IMEI check couldn't be simpler – just input the IMEI number, and we'll take care of all the intricate lookups with manufacturers and carriers across the globe on your behalf!

This service rescued me from potentially purchasing a stolen phone. Here's my story: I recently acquired a used iPhone 11, and out of curiosity, I dialed *#06# to check the IMEI. To my surprise, the displayed IMEI didn't match the number on the phone's box, raising suspicions of potential theft or reporting. In my quest for answers, I stumbled upon this valuable resource, which provided me with comprehensive information about the iPhone 11's IMEI
