Buy second-hand without getting scammed.
Stolen, counterfeit, locked, carrier-blocked… We guide you through every check, directly on the device and on official sites. At the end: a clear verdict, based on what you found.
Everything happens in this browser: the IMEI you enter is never sent, and is only kept here masked. We query no database — we show you what to check, and where.
How to check a used phone in 3 steps
Enter the IMEI
Dial *#06# on the device and type the number: it is validated locally — length and check digit — compared with the one printed on the box, and never sent to a server.
Follow the guided checks
iCloud or Google (FRP) lock, corporate management, serial number on the manufacturer's official page, network test with your own SIM: the assistant tells you what to look at and what each result means.

Frequently asked questions
Does this tool check a stolen-phone database?
- No — and it says so. The assistant queries no database at all. It validates the IMEI locally and guides you through checks that produce real evidence: locks, serial number on official pages, a test with your own SIM.
What does the IMEI check actually verify?
- That the number is structurally valid — length and check digit — and consistent with the one on the box. A valid IMEI does not prove the phone is clean: that is exactly why the assistant continues with the other checks.
Is my IMEI sent or stored anywhere?
- It is validated in your browser and never sent. In your local history it is kept in masked form only.
How do I find the IMEI?
- Dial *#06# on the device. Compare it with the number printed on the box: the two must match.
How can I detect a carrier block?
- Test with your own SIM card. A device that gets no network at all may be blocked by IMEI — for instance after being reported stolen.
Which locks should I check?
- The iCloud account on Apple devices, Google (FRP) on Android, and corporate management. Ask the seller to sign out in front of you: a locked device is unusable, whatever its physical condition.
Is it free?
- Yes — no account, no quota, and it never asks for any password, yours or the seller's.
