Free IMEI checks

Free iPhone carrier check

Knowing that an iPhone is locked is only half the answer — you need to know to whom. This check names the carrier and country behind the lock, alongside the model, so you know which unlock to order or which SIM will work.

Questions people ask

The check says 'unlocked' — is it really?

Does it work with the serial number?

Yes. IMEI or serial number, for any iPhone or cellular iPad.
