Our Google Pixel IMEI checker connects to official databases to retrieve detailed information about your device. Here is what a typical Pixel IMEI report includes:
Exact model number (e.g., GA03425-US), storage capacity, and color. Useful for verifying if a seller's description matches the actual device.
Whether the device is still under Google's standard warranty, the warranty start date, and expiration date.
The country where the device was originally sold. Important for identifying import models that may lack local warranty or carrier compatibility.
Whether the Pixel is locked to a specific carrier (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, etc.) or factory unlocked. Includes eSIM/DSDS information for dual-SIM models.
Check if the device has been reported as lost, stolen, or blocked by a carrier. A blacklisted phone cannot be activated on most networks worldwide.
The device's serial number, which can be used for additional warranty checks directly through Google's support portal.
When the device was first activated and purchased, which helps estimate the device age and remaining warranty.
Shows whether the Google Pixel has been activated. An activated device has been set up and used at least once. This helps verify if a device sold as "new" is truly unused.
Indicates whether the Google Store return window is still open or closed. Useful when buying a recently purchased Pixel to know if it can still be returned to Google.
The year the device was manufactured. Combined with warranty dates, this helps estimate the true age of the device and detect old stock being sold as new.
For extended details such as detailed carrier lock history or financed/leased status, our paid IMEI check services provide deeper reports.
There are three ways to find the IMEI number on any Google Pixel device:
Open the Phone app on your Pixel and dial *#06#. Your IMEI number (and IMEI2 for dual-SIM models) will display on screen instantly. No call is made — it is a built-in system code.
Go to Settings → About Phone. You will see your IMEI number listed along with the serial number, model number, and other device identifiers.
The IMEI is printed on the original box your Pixel came in. On some older models, you can also find it on the SIM card tray or engraved on the back panel.
Blacklist Status: CLEAN — The device has not been reported as lost or stolen. It is safe to use and can be activated on any compatible network.
Blacklist Status: BLACKLISTED — The device has been reported to the global blacklist database. This means a carrier has flagged it as lost, stolen, or associated with unpaid bills. A blacklisted Pixel cannot be reliably used on cellular networks. Avoid purchasing a blacklisted device.
Activation Status: Activated — The device has been set up and used. This is normal for any second-hand Pixel. It confirms the device is functional and has been registered with Google.
Activation Status: Not Activated — The device has never been set up. If you are buying a "brand new" Pixel, this is what you want to see. If the seller claims the phone is new but it shows Activated, that is a red flag.
SIM Lock: Locked — The device is restricted to one carrier. You will need to unlock it before using a SIM card from another carrier. Check with the original carrier for unlock eligibility.
SIM Lock: Unlocked — The device is factory unlocked or has been unlocked by the carrier. It can be used with any compatible network worldwide.
Warranty Status: Active (with dates) — Your report will show the exact Warranty Start Date and Warranty End Date (e.g., 2024-05-19 to 2025-05-19). Any hardware defects within this window are covered by Google.
Warranty Status: Out of Warranty — The warranty period has ended. Repairs will not be covered by Google. You may still be eligible for paid repairs through authorized service centers.
Return Policy: Return window open — The device is still within Google Store's return period. The original buyer can still return it for a refund.
Return Policy: Return window closed — The return period has passed. The device cannot be returned to Google Store.
If you are buying a used or refurbished Google Pixel, checking the IMEI should be the first thing you do. Here is why:
A blacklisted Pixel is essentially a paperweight — it cannot connect to cellular networks. Sellers may not disclose (or even know) the blacklist status. Our check takes seconds and can save you hundreds of euros.
Sellers sometimes advertise a Pixel 9 Pro XL when it is actually a Pixel 9 Pro, or list a 256GB model that is actually 128GB. The IMEI check reveals the exact model, variant, and storage.
A Pixel locked to T-Mobile US will not work with a European SIM unless it is unlocked first. Our check reveals the lock status before you pay.
A device still under warranty has significant additional value. Our check shows exactly when the warranty expires so you can factor that into the price.
A Pixel originally sold in Japan (model ending in -JP) may not have all the LTE/5G bands needed for your local network. The purchase country tells you where the device was intended to be used.
Google Pixel phones from the Pixel 8 onwards get 7 years of updates. Older models get 3-5 years. The IMEI check reveals the exact model so you can estimate how many years of software support remain.
Our checker supports every Google Pixel phone ever released:
