An IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique 15-digit number that identifies cellular-capable devices—such as phones, tablets, and smartwatches—on a mobile network. Acting as a "digital fingerprint," this number allows carriers and law enforcement to track, identify, or lock devices, particularly if they are lost or stolen.

Key Facts About IMEI

• Identification: No two devices share the same IMEI; it remains with the hardware, regardless of SIM card changes.
• Purpose: It is primarily used to check if a device is stolen, verify its make/model, and prevent it from accessing networks.
• How to Find It: You can find your device's IMEI by dialing *#06# on your phone.
• Dual SIM Devices: Devices with two SIM slots have two distinct IMEI numbers.
• Distinct from Serial Number: Unlike manufacturer serial numbers, the IMEI is an industry-standard identifier used globally

Common Uses

• Blocking Stolen Devices: If a phone is stolen, the owner can provide the IMEI to their carrier to blacklist it, rendering it useless on most networks.
• Verifying Used Phones: Before buying a used phone, you can perform an IMEI number check to ensure it hasn't been reported lost or stolen.
• Network Compatibility: Carriers use this number to ensure a device is compatible with their network

A large majority of the device IMEI's we clean are fully connected and working as normal on the original network. We cannot fully guarantee the device will work on the original network due to so many other determining factors associated with the account or line connected to the serviced device. With that being said, about 92% of the phones we service, where the IMEI is cleaned will work on the original However, we can guarantee after we perform our services that the device will be removed from the lost/stolen status and into clean/clear status allowing you to use on the original network, network SIM unlock to use on another network, trade in the device to the carrier for an upgrade or sell the device on the aftermarket.

No, the IMEI Blacklist Repair service we offer does not remove SIM restrictions or unlock the network. If the device was network SIM locked to the original carrier before it was reported lost or stolen, it will remain network SIM locked to the original carrier after we clean and repair the device's IMEI. Typically the device will be usable on the original carrier's network after we service the device and it will be able to network SIM unlock the device if you want to use the device on another network.

We have unlock (unbarring) servers that are directly connected to the carrier network servers as well as the GSMA database servers. When we get an order, we copy and paste your device's IMEI number in the appropriate service slot in our servers. That IMEI gets routed through the carrier servers. The IMEI is cleaned and removed from lost and stolen status and converted to clean and clear status. After the device IMEI is in clean status in the carrier system servers, we then follow that same process in the GSMA database system servers. The GSMA database officially lists the device's status on the worldwide stage. So, not only will the serviced device be clean in the carrier system servers, it will also be cleaned and converted to clean status on the worldwide blacklist stage as well.
