DEVICE CHECK
IMEI blacklist checker for phone status reports
A blacklist report helps you review the provider’s reported status for a phone IMEI. Choose Simple or Premium reporting and read the completed result before making a purchase decision.
USD prices below use your account credit. Minimum top-up: $10.25 total for $10.00 credit, including a $0.25 fee.
Checking a used phone before purchase
An IMEI blacklist check can help you review reported device blocks before buying a used phone. It does not track a stolen phone or prove ownership. A clean result applies to the information available for that report; it is not a promise of future network access.
What is an IMEI blacklist?
Mobile networks can restrict devices reported lost or stolen. A blacklist check is about the device identifier, not the screen passcode, Apple account password or physical condition of a phone.
Simple and Premium are separate reports
These are two distinct provider services with different prices. The name Premium is not a guarantee of every network, country or historical record. We show the information returned for your chosen service; if a field is absent, we do not treat it as a clean result.
Does a clean result guarantee a safe purchase?
No. A report reflects the information available to its provider when checked. A phone can be reported later, and a result does not establish ownership or future network access. Inspect the device and ask for purchase evidence. Follow our used iPhone checklist.

Blacklist is not Find My
An iCloud or Find My result is a different check. Compare the Find My check and lock status check to select the question you need answered.
