hey guys technically with the video for
you guys today we're going to be showing
you guys how to check if our iphone
is blacklisted or not so this is really
important because if a phone is
blacklisted
you will not be able to use it on any
carrier it's especially true
if you're in the united states of a
carrier black this is your
phone which means you had some financial
balance or
if the phone was stolen or something
like that it'll become known as
blacklisted which means the
phone is blocked from activating any
service so
this is a way to check if you're buying
a used phone or pre-owned device
or something like that really important
thing to do is actually
check ime to make sure it's not
blacklisted or anything like that
so in this video we're going to show you
how to do that also before we go to
start if you guys are new to our channel
we do a lot of tech news reviews and
giveaways so make sure to hit that
subscribe button
also as you can see in my hand here i
have the iphone
xr product red edition if you guys are
looking for a cheap iphone not
looking to spend too much make sure you
guys check out the link in the
description or include
some really cheap phones that you can
buy from amazon and ebay
and our unboxing videos that we've done
in the past as well make sure you guys
check those out so to do this method
it's pretty full
straightforward first thing you're going
to do is make sure you have some kind of
data connection because we will need the
internet
to check this so either have wi-fi or if
you have some card data
use your turn on your data and then once
you have done that go into settings
and once you're in settings you're going
to go to general
and then about and then what you're
going to want to do is
go ahead in here and take the
ime number here so you're going to copy
that ime number
just hold it and if you you'll get a
little pop-up that says copy and we're
going to press the
copy button and then once you have done
that what you're going to do
is go ahead and open up safari or any in
your browser you have and then you're
going to
search for iphone
black lists
check so once you so what it is is that
there's
lots of website that has um blacklist
check that you can google for there's
tons of them out there
you can use any of them out there that
you have and you're going to go ahead
and click on them once you click on them
they're going to ask you for the ime
number imei number which is a 15 digit
number we just copied over
and you're going to go ahead and press
and hold and then hit that paste button
and once it's pasted we're gonna hit
that robot check
it looks like it wants us to check some
crosswalks so we're gonna do that
verify that image and then we're gonna
hit that check button
so this one website is called ime pro
dot info
as you can see we have entered that and
then we'll go down here and as you can
see with that ime number here
it gives us the phone model number and
then blacklist
status which is says it's clean so that
means it's not blacklisted
the phone is good to go here so that's
one way to
check and then what you want to do is
actually go ahead and
check this out on multiple sites so
you're going to want to go to
maybe the next one down here these
change all the time so you're going to
want to go ahead and check it on
multiple site to really verify that's
that way that um you know if a site
can't guarantee
if it's blackness or not you can go to
the next one and
go from there and as you can see there's
a human
gotchas here and i'm gonna need to
select the bike here
if it were to be blacklisted it would
say blacklisted there
um so let's wait for this record
hopefully we'll see
the status here
and as you can see here let's take a
look as you can see here
with this app popping up here's the ime
number blacklist that it's clean
so that means it's not blacklist or
anything like that
if it's blacklisted it would say
blacklisted right here
so you can go down and check couple more
sites to really get your
assurance that the phone is not
blacklisted
next method of course if you don't have
any uh data or anything like that
is that what you can do is take an
active sim card
in there put it in there um and if you
get
no service here um so of course i don't
have a sim card
if you get a no service or anything like
that this is
most likely um it could be uh
blacklisted because it's not getting any
service from the carrier and if you know
the sim is active so if you pull out a
sim card from another phone
that's active or if your carrier said
yes the same card is active but
you keep on seeing no service and you're
not getting any service like that
that also can mean the phone is black
listed
so that's another way to check if your
phone is blacklisted
or not so those are two of the methods
that we share in this video of course
the other way
is to check but that generally gives us
a good idea
if uh if a phone is blacklisted or not
if you guys have any other ways to check
it leave it
down in the comment section if you have
any question leave them down
as well in the comment section hopefully
this video is helpful for you looking to
check if my iphone is blacklisted or not
thanks for watching guys see you guys
