FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

General Questions

What is an IMEI number?

The IMEI number or in other words International Mobile Equipment Identity is a unique 15-digit code that precisely identifies the device. All devices that are cellular compatible will have an IMEI. If your device (such as a tablet or smartwatch) does not have an IMEI, its unique 15-digit code will be the device's alpha-numeric serial number. We keep this number in our records to ensure the right item is being sent to you and verify your order when you receive it.

What is a locked or unlocked device?

A device that is ''locked'' will only work with one carrier whereas an unlocked phone will work with multiple carriers.

A GSM unlocked phone means that it has a SIM card, and typically works with most GSM carriers like T-Mobile and AT&T, while a CDMA unlocked device may or may not have a SIM card and usually works with CDMA networks like Verizon and Sprint.

We make sure to include compatibility charts or information on our listings offering more information, and there are Fully Unlocked phones available which work with most carriers. Make sure to check out the description on any of our listings or contact us with the listing ID/link and we will be happy to provide you with the best possible answer.
