Questions, answered
What does the free IMEI check show?
The free check identifies the device (make, model), returns a worldwide blacklist verdict, and reports whether the phone is carrier-locked — all in a few seconds, with no account needed.
Is it really free?
Yes — completely free. There is no payment, no card and no account. Enter an IMEI and you get the device, blacklist and carrier-lock verdict in seconds.
Does this work for phones bought in other countries?
Yes. That is the whole point. Unlike US-only tools, we query international databases, so a phone from Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East or Africa is fully covered.
How do I find my IMEI?
Dial *#06# on the phone's keypad and the 15-digit IMEI appears instantly. You can also find it in Settings, on the original box, or on the SIM tray.
Will the check tell me the exact carrier a phone is locked to?
When the network exposes that data, yes. Where carriers withhold it, you still get a clear locked-or-unlocked verdict.
Can a blacklisted phone still be used?
A blacklisted phone is typically blocked from cellular networks, though Wi-Fi may still work. That is why checking the blacklist before buying is so important.
Does an IMEI check harm my phone or privacy?
No. Looking up an IMEI is a read-only status check. The number identifies hardware for network databases; it cannot access your accounts, data or messages.
