Every mobile device has a unique IMEI number. Here is how to find it on the most popular platforms.
Dial *#06# on the phone keypad. The IMEI appears immediately — no internet needed. Write it down or take a screenshot.
Devices with two SIM slots have two IMEI numbers (IMEI 1 and IMEI 2). Check both when verifying device status.
Once you have the number, verify it instantly at uapi.relock.net.
On Samsung devices: Settings → About phone → Status → IMEI. On Google Pixel: Settings → About phone → IMEI. Many Android phones also print the IMEI on the SIM tray. If the phone will not power on, the IMEI on the original box and purchase receipt is your only option — verify the seller has these before buying a non-functional device.
Besides *#06# and Settings, iPhone IMEI is engraved on the SIM tray (iPhone 4 through 14 series) and printed on the back of older models. In Finder or iTunes on a connected computer, click the serial number field to cycle through IMEI, ICCID, and other identifiers.
If the IMEI in Settings differs from the box or SIM tray, the device may have been refurbished with a different motherboard, tampered with, or misrepresented. Do not purchase until you understand the discrepancy.
ABC Fusion provides professional device verification and IMEI status services for authorized resellers, repair shops, and mobile retailers. Our free public checker at uapi.relock.net offers basic model identification. Registered business accounts can access comprehensive carrier, blacklist, warranty, and Apple status checks through relock.net.
Important: Verification results are informational. Always confirm critical purchase decisions with the manufacturer or carrier. We provide status data only — not device modification services on our public website.
Whether you buy one phone for personal use or hundreds for resale, the verification workflow is the same: collect IMEI, run database checks, compare results to seller claims, inspect hardware, and document everything. Skipping any step exposes you to fraud, chargebacks, and inventory losses that far exceed the cost of a professional check.
Marketplace platforms increasingly expect sellers to provide IMEI verification reports. Generating a check report before listing builds buyer confidence and reduces return rates. For high-value flagship models (iPhone Pro, Samsung Ultra series), a $0.05–$0.50 verification cost protects a $500–$1,200 purchase — an obvious return on investment.
The global used smartphone market moves billions of devices annually. GSMA, carriers, and manufacturers maintain databases specifically to combat theft and fraud. Professional verification services like ABC Fusion connect resellers and consumers to these databases through legitimate API channels — providing the same data access that large refurbishers and insurance companies rely on daily.
