IMEI Check for Dealers and Repair Shops

Verify entire batches at goods-in — blacklist, activation lock, SIM lock and warranty — through bulk upload or a REST API, instead of checking devices one at a time.

Anyone trading phones professionally is exposed at exactly one point: the moment stock arrives and is booked in unverified. A device that turns out to be blacklisted or activation-locked after it has been paid for is a loss that no grading process recovers.

Running the check at goods-in rather than at resale moves that loss back to the supplier, where it belongs.

Why dealers check the IMEI

Three reasons, in order of what they cost: devices that cannot be sold because they are barred or locked; price corrections after the fact because the model or configuration differs from the delivery note; and disputes with suppliers that cannot be settled because nobody documented the state of the goods on arrival.

A dated check record answers all three, and it is the document a supplier claim rests on.

Bulk upload and API

For occasional batches, upload a list of IMEIs and receive the results together. For continuous operation, the REST API integrates the check into your own goods-in process, warehouse system or ERP.

The API returns structured results per device, so grading, pricing and stock records can be driven from the response instead of retyped.

Volume pricing

Regular checkers top up check credit instead of buying individual reports. Single lookups start at 0.02 € depending on which database is queried.

The volume advantage arrives as bonus credit on the top-up. The price of an individual lookup is the same for every customer — there is no separate per-check discount tier.

Frequently asked questions about bulk IMEI check

Can I check many IMEIs at once?

Yes. Bulk upload takes a list of IMEIs and returns the results together, and the API handles continuous batch operation.

Is there an API for integration?

Yes, a REST API with token authentication and structured per-device results. The documentation includes code examples in several languages.

Are there volume discounts for dealers?

The volume advantage comes as bonus credit on larger top-ups. The per-lookup price stays identical for every customer.
