Buying a used phone can be a great deal… or a big mistake. Many people get excited about low prices only to discover later that the phone is locked, blacklisted, or unusable. The key to avoiding this? Always check the IMEI status before you pay.

The IMEI number is like the ID card of your device. With it, you can instantly know if the phone has been reported stolen, if it still has unpaid bills, or if it’s tied to a specific carrier. Skipping this step means taking the risk of ending up with a phone that only works on WiFi and can’t connect to any mobile network.

Here’s why checking the IMEI matters:
— It reveals if the phone is blacklisted due to theft or fraud.
— It shows if there’s an active carrier lock that limits which SIM you can use.
— It helps you avoid buying a device with hidden debts or unpaid plans.
— It protects your money by making sure the phone is 100% legitimate.

On the flip side, when you confirm the IMEI status before buying, you gain peace of mind. You know the phone is safe to use, compatible with your carrier, and ready for travel. Plus, you avoid wasting money on devices that can’t be fixed or resold.

In this video, I’ll guide you step by step on how to check the IMEI on both iPhone and Android, how to read the results, and what red flags to watch out for. Don’t let a “cheap deal” turn into a useless device—watch now and learn the right way to protect yourself before making the purchase.
