Scope and limits
This lookup does not inspect physical condition, prove ownership, or guarantee future network or warranty eligibility.
Not requested by this service: Activation Lock, iCloud lost mode, GSMA blacklist, US carrier blacklist, management enrollment, warranty coverage. Do not interpret missing results for those checks as clear.
Choosing between reports
Requests a named network or activation-policy record together with SIM-lock status. The SIM-lock-only check does not request a carrier record.
You purchase the selected lookup, not a guarantee of a matching record or favorable status. A lookup can complete without a matching record; a missing field does not establish a clear device status.
Processing times are estimates. Follow the order's completion status; the lookup may take longer than its usual estimate.
