Enter the IMEI to identify the phone and start its verification report. The blacklist row gives you an online GSMA blacklist check where a provider is connected, and always the free official check for your country.
Lost and stolen status comes from carriers, national registers and the GSMA. A trustworthy result names that source. Below are the free official services by country. We link to them and send them nothing.

Operators in many countries share lost and stolen reports through the GSMA Device Registry (often called the GSMA blacklist or blocklist). The GSMA’s Device Check service gives businesses such as insurers, recyclers and trade-in companies access to this data under commercial agreements. It is not offered as a free public lookup. Some retailers and marketplaces run Device Check on the phones they sell, so a seller’s official report can be worth asking for.

Apple does not offer a public Activation Lock check. It removed that page in 2017.

This checks authenticity, not Mi Account lock or blacklist status.

Lost and stolen status comes from carriers, national registers and the GSMA Device Registry. The GSMA offers access to businesses under contract, not as a free public API. We will not show “clean” or “not stolen” unless the result comes from an authoritative source. A result based only on the IMEI’s format would be fiction, and could cost you money.
Some resell data from licensed providers. Others reformat a TAC lookup or show results that cannot be verified. If you pay, ask where the data comes from and which countries it covers. A “clean” result also only reflects reports made so far.
No. Many operators share blocks through the GSMA, but participation and enforcement vary by country and carrier. A phone blocked in one country can sometimes work in another. That is why national checks exist.
Contact the seller and your carrier. Only the operator that placed the block (or the owner who reported it) can remove it, usually after the phone is shown to be legitimately owned. Unblocking services that promise to remove blocks for a fee are not legitimate.
No. A blacklist (blocklist) entry stops a phone working on networks after a loss, theft or unpaid bill report. A carrier lock (SIM lock) limits which carrier’s SIM works. Activation Lock and FRP lock the phone to the previous owner’s account. Each needs its own check.
