The benefits of a device replacement check

New smartphones, particularly the latest iPhone models, don’t come cheap. And buying from a private or independent trader can be a good way of getting a new mobile at a lower price. But it doesn’t offer any guarantees. While the phone may look brand new, and come boxed with all the relevant instructions and accessories, the history of the device may tell a different story.

Refurbished models or replacement devices supplied by a manufacturer can look indistinguishable from brand new phones. Of course, the device performance and reliability of refurbished and replacement devices may be equivalent to brand new devices. But there’s no guarantee. It’s also not the only consideration. Buying a refurbished or replacement device may impact insurance costs and resale value.

A device replacement check is like a phone health check. It gives you peace of mind and the facts you need to make the right decision about a phone purchase and its future use.

How our device replacement IMEI check works

We source accurate information about a mobile device using its unique IMEI number. A 15-digit code, an IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number has hard-coded information about a device linked to it. Each IMEI is stored centrally in a Type Allocation Code (TAC) database managed by the GSM Association. Our software uses authorized access to this database to locate the relevant 15-digit IMEI. Once found it then extracts all available device data associated with it. This includes determining whether or not a replacement device was supplied. To ensure the most accurate results, we review and revise device information and specification details daily.

All you need is a Wi-Fi or internet connection. We'll sort the rest.

Don’t know how to find the IMEI?

To check IMEI number look in the 'Settings', 'About' menu of the device, type *#06# into the keypad, look under the battery, one the SIM card or on the sticker on your phone box.
