Everyone searches for IMEI Check FREE services, so let us give you some free IMEI Check online tools that will help you to find some information about your device, but also point out the dangers of those free IMEI Check tools.
What IMEI Check free tools (Mostly online tools) will offer you, is information about your device, such as Phone model, Capacity, Color, Warranty (Dates), Serial number and other hardware information (Such as Model number).
Unfortunately, Free IMEI Check online tools, cannot provide SIM-Lock and Network identification values of a phone, because access to such information are not free.
A few years back, some online IMEI Check tools, could provide SIM-Lock and Network Identification values, but they were using private and personal databases, which means that they were not very accurate (And not up to date).
IMEI Check Free tools for SIM-Lock & Network Identification results
As I explained above, no tool can provide such information, at least for the time being.
There are some companies that they used to offer free iPhone IMEI GSX reports, but now Apple “locked” a lot of GSX accounts, since they were hacked and illegally being used.

Blacklist status IMEI Check free tools
There are good news here, since many Mobile Networks offer a free Blacklist IMEI Check, so people can quickly and freely check if their IMEI number is blacklisted.
This means that first you need to identify from which Carrier your phone is blacklisted and then proceed with a free Blacklist IMEI Check.

The last free Blacklist IMEI Check online tool, does not provide accurate information, but it is a good indication when an IMEI number returns are Blacklisted. It uses private databases, which are not up to date.
iCloud status IMEI Check free tools
Apple used to have an online iCloud status check tool, that could inform you if an iPhone is activated with an iCloud account OR if it is ready to get activated by another iCloud account.
Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, this online tool is not available and it does not seem to get online again. The iCloud information of an iPhone can only be found inside Apple’s iCloud database, which means that only a paid service can fetch such information.
All other free iCloud IMEI Check online tools, have either outdated, random (We took different results for the same IMEI number within 5 minutes) or simply false information.
A simple test is to change the Find My iPhone and iCloud status of your own iPhone and check it to those free online iCloud IMEI check tools. You will see that their results are not being updated.
Android IMEI Check free tools
The same thing applies with the Android devices, such as Samsung, LG, NOKIA, HTC, ZTE, SONY, ACER, HUAWEI, LENOVO, ALCATEL, Google Pixel and other.
The SIM-Lock, Network identification and Activation Locks are only available inside databases that are not for public use, which means that you need to pay a fee to find them.
IMEI Check Free vs Paid services
Information such as SIM-Lock, Network identification, iCloud (or Activation Lock), Contract, Financial and Blacklist status, are extremely important, since they will determine if a device is usable or not.
You should not try to reduce your expenses when it comes to IMEI Check services, since if a result is not accurate, it might lead you to buy a Locked, Blacklist, with Unpaid Bills, Under Contract or iCloud Locked iPhone/Phone.
If you buy an iPhone with one or more of the above issues, you might end up with a non-usable device.
