How can I check my device's IMEI to ensure it's clean?

Swappa offers a free ESN/IMEI check service: Check your ESN / IMEI

Swappa’s free IMEI check service reports whether a device is allowed (clean and ready for activation according to the GSMA global registry) or blocked (reported as lost or stolen).

If you don’t know the history of a device or are unsure about its activation status or any outstanding financial obligations, please contact the original wireless carrier before creating a listing.
