Home / Clean IMEI guide
Use this guide to align clean IMEI, blacklist, carrier lock, activation, and traceability expectations before buying refurbished iPhone wholesale lots.
Clean IMEI is a risk-control requirement, not a cosmetic grade. Buyers should confirm clean IMEI scope, carrier lock status, activation checks, proof records, and claim rules before PI approval.
The device is expected to be free from reported blacklist or financing blocks in the agreed check scope.
Confirm the evidence format and timing before PI approval.
A locked device can still have a clean IMEI but may be limited to a carrier or market.
Separate unlocked and carrier-locked lots in RFQ notes.
Activation, iCloud, and account-lock concerns are different from cosmetic grade.
Ask which activation and reset checks are included in QC.
A lot that works in one resale channel may not fit another region or carrier environment.
Confirm destination market before quote lock.
Post-delivery disputes need traceable SKU, IMEI, serial, photo, video, or test evidence.
Save order and proof records immediately after delivery.
