The benefits of an IMEI iPhone check

iPhones are an investment. Even used devices come at a high price. So it’s important to check that what you’re paying for matches up with your expectations. An IMEI iPhone check digs deep into each phone’s DNA to find out everything you need to know to make sure your money’s being well spent.


What’s included?

Our iPhone IMEI check report includes everything from simlock status and manufacturing details to warranty and network info. It also looks to see if the iPhone’s ‘Find My iPhone’ activation lock is enabled.

If you’ve inherited a device, an IMEI (or international mobile equipment identity) check is also an easy way of getting to know your new phone better.

How our iPhone IMEI check works

An IMEI number holds unique information about a device; from the device model, make and mobile network to the technical features and specifications. This information is hard coded into the IMEI which is then stored centrally in a Type Allocation Code (TAC) database. Maintained by the GSM Association (or the ‘GSMA'), the TAC database represents the mobile network industry and its operators. Updated regularly, it captures the IMEI numbers of millions of mobile devices, globally.

Using authorized access to this IMEI database, our software scans the information to locate the 15-digit ID and extract all available device data. To ensure the most up-to-date and accurate results, the data we extract is revised and refreshed daily.
