FAQ

How do I check if a phone has been blacklisted?

Run a free IMEI blacklist check using the device’s IMEI (dial *#06# to retrieve). Blacklisted phones can’t activate on any major US carrier.

Where is the best place to sell a used phone in 2026?

Comparison sites like SellCell aggregate offers from a dozen buyback platforms. Direct cash sales tend to clear at the top of the range.

Why does my trade-in offer keep dropping?

Carrier trade-in offers ratchet down monthly as new generations ship. Resale values on third-party platforms are more stable.

Before you buy or sell: run a free IMEI blacklist check — and read the iPhone 15 Plus buying guide for the full inspection checklist.
