Quick IMEI lookup

Check the community alerts in seconds. Enter the 15-digit IMEI to see if someone reported the phone as lost, stolen, or recovered, and read the note they left for potential finders.

About this lookup

When the IMEI is not yet in the database you will be redirected to the "no result" page where we explain how to register your alert.

Why we require the entire IMEI

The last digits contain the Luhn checksum that prevents false positives. It also protects owners from leaking partial device data.

Community-driven safety

Every entry is voluntary. Good samaritans search an IMEI before buying a used phone to ensure someone else is not looking for it.

Next recommended steps

  • Register the IMEI: the signup form stores your contact email and message.
  • Share the warning: link your listing to the Check IMEI page to deter suspicious buyers.
  • Monitor activity: open the IMEI Tracker to see how many people are searching for the identifier.

IMEI search FAQ

How often is the database updated?

New IMEIs appear instantly after the owner completes the signup form. Large investigations may add files in batch following manual review.

Will the finder see my personal data?

No. We only expose the email you submit, and we recommend using an address created specifically for the recovery effort.

Can I remove the record later?

Yes. Contact support with proof of ownership and we will archive the alert or mark it as recovered.
