Know Your
Phone.
Most people buying phones in Ghana have never heard of an IMEI check. That is exactly how scammers win. We are changing that.
Check Any Phone Free →Every Phone Has
A Secret Number.
It is called an IMEI — International Mobile Equipment Identity. Every phone in the world has one. It is a 15-digit number that belongs to that phone and only that phone. Even if you change the SIM card or factory reset the device, the IMEI stays the same.

What An IMEI
Check Tells You.
Blacklist Status
Find out if the phone has been reported to networks and blocked from making calls.
Stolen Report
Know if the phone was reported stolen by its original owner anywhere in the world.
Model Verification
Confirm the phone is exactly what the seller says it is. Fake iPhone 15s are sold every day.
Network Lock
See if the phone is locked to one network and will not work on MTN, Telecel, or AirtelTigo.
What Happens When
You Skip The Check.
"A man buys an iPhone 14 Pro in Accra for GHS 8,000. Three weeks later the phone stops working — the original UK owner had reported it stolen and blacklisted it."
"A student buys a 'Samsung S24 Ultra' from social media. IMEI check reveals it is actually an S23 with a replaced back panel."
"A business owner buys phones for staff. The phones are network locked and cannot connect to MTN Ghana."
One check. Two minutes. Free.
