About UsedPhoneCheck

UsedPhoneCheck is a free tool for people buying a used phone. It checks that an IMEI is a real number, shows the exact model it belongs to, and walks you through the checks that protect you from stolen, locked or faulty phones.

It's made by Star Wireless, a phone repair and refurbished phone shop in Minneapolis with more than 10 years of experience. We see the results of bad used-phone deals every week: iCloud-locked iPhones, blacklisted phones and swapped parts. This site is our way of helping people avoid them.

Where the data comes from

Model information comes from a public database of Type Allocation Codes (the first 8 digits of an IMEI), shared under the MIT license. It covers phones released up to 2025. The check digit test follows the standard IMEI format.
