Frequently asked questions
What does “not flagged” mean?
The IMEI was not flagged on the GSMA Block List at check time. A later report can still change the status.
Can a carrier still block a clean device?
Yes. Some carrier-specific restrictions, including certain billing issues, may not appear on the GSMA Block List.
What should I do if it is flagged?
Do not complete the purchase. Ask the seller to resolve it with the carrier or organisation that placed the flag.
Does this service remove a blacklist?
No. This service checks status; it does not unlock, unblock, or alter any record.
Important: Block-list data is contributed by third parties and can change. Use this report with a physical inspection, proof of purchase, activation test, and seller return policy.
