The full device report
The free check tells you the carrier and iCloud. These tell you everything else: balance owed, blacklist, warranty, whether it was replaced and who sold it. Same IMEI as above, results in minutes.

The data comes straight from the carrier or Apple; we look it up and show it to you. A mistyped IMEI returns another device: verify it with *#06#.

Secure payment through Stripe. If we can't get the data, you get every cent back.
What is the IMEI and what is it for?
The IMEI is 15 digits that uniquely identify your device, like a license plate. With it you can query the carrier database to see whether the phone is tied to a company and whether iCloud is on. It is the first thing to check before buying a used iPhone: a locked device, or one with iCloud still on, is worth far less — and sometimes worth nothing at all.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find my IMEI?
Dial *#06# and it shows up on screen. It's also in Settings → General → About, or printed on the box. 15 digits.
What does this check tell me?
Which carrier the device is locked to (or whether it is unlocked) and whether iCloud / Find My iPhone is on. Those two facts decide if you can use it with another company and if it can be resold.
Is it really free?
Yes, no signup and no card. We query the carrier database and show you the result.
What if it comes back locked?
We can unlock it by IMEI, permanently and remotely, from $8. The check result shows you a direct link to your carrier service.
What if iCloud is on?
That phone can't be used or resold until the previous owner takes it off their account. If it's yours, sign in at iCloud.com from another device and remove it from Find My.
