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.

Amazing!

Thank you MobileUnlocked! This was a much cheaper alternative to buying a new iPhone Pro Max! It couldn’t have been easier to unlock with MobileUnlocked, all I had to do was provide my imei number (it’s so simple and they clearly show you how to do this) and that was that. Amazing service – 100% would recommend!

Super Quick!

It was such a simple and cost effective process! My iPhone Xs was unlocked within no time and I will be returning to unlock my new Apple Watch 4.

Jeffery Brook 15/10/2023

I thought it would be complicated!

I can’t believe how quickly MobileUnlocked handled my request. Looking online, I read it can take up to 60 days to unlock a device, but MobileUnlocked unlocked my iPhone 14 Pro Max in under 24 hours! Fantastic service which I would highly recommend.

Really Easy Process

So quick and simple! I followed the simple instructions MobileUnlocked provided and within 12 hours of placing my order my phone was unlocked. I would recommend this service to everyone and I will certainly be coming back when I need to unlock my next new phone.

MobileUnlocked are such a fantastic company! They don’t overcomplicate or overcharge, and their staff were both friendly and informative. My phone was successfully unlocked within hours, saving me both time and money. Highly recommend.

Flawless

I can’t fault my experience with MobileUnlocked. I followed the clear and simple instructions on their website and my request was carried out the following morning. The service couldn’t have been easier, and the instructions couldn’t have been clearer. My phone is now unlocked and I can’t recommend this company enough.
