Why it matters
One minute now beats a $400 mistake later.
The IMEI is the one identifier a seller can't fake away — here's what checking it protects you from.
Catch blacklisted phones
A phone reported lost or stolen won't activate on any US carrier — no matter how clean it looks in person. The blacklist follows the IMEI, not the seller's story.
Read how blacklists workVerify what you're buying
The lookup confirms the model, and deeper reports show carrier and financing status — so the "unlocked 256GB" listing actually is one.
Read the used-phone checklistSell with confidence
Check your own phone before selling or trading in — know what a buyer's check will show and clear any locks first so the deal closes smoothly.

FAQ
IMEI check questions, answered.
What is an IMEI check?
A database lookup on a phone's unique 15-digit hardware ID. It confirms what device the number belongs to, and deeper reports reveal blacklist, carrier, and financing status.
How do I find my IMEI?
Dial *#06# — it appears instantly. Also in Settings (General → About on iPhone, About phone on Android), on the SIM tray, and on the original box. Full guide here.
Is this really free?
Yes — the on-page lookup is free with no signup. Full blacklist, carrier, and financing reports use paid databases; we run those in-store at 1054 Beach 20th Street.
Why check before buying a used phone?
A blacklisted phone won't activate on US carriers no matter how good it looks. One minute of checking beats owning a Wi-Fi-only paperweight.
Is it safe to enter an IMEI here?
Yes. An IMEI identifies a device, not a person — sharing it with a checker, carrier, or repair shop is standard. We don't store the numbers you look up, and lookups are rate-limited.
Need the full report — or the phone fixed?
Walk into 1054 Beach 20th Street. Full IMEI reports, same-day repairs with a 60-day warranty, and cash trade-ins on the spot.
