The benefits of using a phone blacklist checker

The used phone market is a bargain-hunter’s dream. But it can also be a source of disappointment without the right due diligence checks. Some phones have unpaid bills logged against them. Others have been registered as lost or stolen. All of these circumstances result in a phone being blocked or blacklisted.

Buying a blacklisted device is the biggest risk to buyers of used phones because it renders a mobile phone unusable. Effectively blocked by all phone operators, a blacklisted phone will have a barred IMEI number. This means it can’t make or receive calls, send messages or receive text messages, connect to the internet, or use mobile data. A blacklist status is also very hard, if not impossible, to eradicate once it’s been applied.

In short, buying a blacklisted device is bad news. Which is why you should always first check blacklisted status. Carried out before you buy a used phone - or if you’ve acquired a secondhand device - an IMEI blacklist status check eliminates the risk and worry of wasting money on a device that you won’t be able to use. Or, worse, the risk of being associated with (and possibly responsible for) a stolen device or one with outstanding payments.
