96 Check App looks up any Apple device from its IMEI or serial number and tells you, in plain words, what is on record for it: Activation Lock, Lost Mode, device management, blacklist, carrier and SIM lock, warranty and coverage, and the exact model. Start with a free report. No account, no sign-up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Type the IMEI or serial number, or scan it: with the camera, from a photo, from the label on the box, or from the *#06# screen. 2. Pick the report you need. The Free Check names the model and confirms the number is real. 3. Read the result. Every report has the same four sections: Activation locks, Network, Coverage and This unit. A short status sits at the top, and every row opens to explain what it means and what to do next. WHAT A REPORT CAN TELL YOU (depending on the plan) • Activation Lock (Find My) and Lost Mode • Device management (MDM) by a company or school • Blacklist and block status, and who can lift it • Carrier, SIM lock and purchase country • Warranty and coverage • Model and identity details Each plan lists the checks it ran and the ones it did not, so no row says more than it should. BEFORE YOU ERASE If a report finds a lock, the app tells you to hold off on erasing, restoring or updating the device until the lock is cleared, and what to do whether the account is yours or someone else's. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no sign-up. We never ask for your name, email or phone number. • Your check history stays on your phone. Delete it any time. • Camera and photo scans are read on your device. Images are never uploaded. • No ads, no third-party analytics, no advertising profile. • On supported iPhones, a short plain-language summary of the result is written by Apple Intelligence entirely on your device. SHARE WHAT YOU FOUND Send a tidy report card to anyone, straight from the result screen. PLANS The Free Check costs nothing. Fuller reports (Carrier + SIM Lock, US Block + Blacklist, MDM + FMI Lock, Check Ultimate) are one-time in-app purchases, charged once per check, with the price shown before you confirm. No subscription. WHAT 96 CHECK DOES NOT DO 96 Check reports the status on record for a device. It does not unlock, bypass or remove Activation Lock, Find My, iCloud, carrier locks or any other lock, and it does not change the device in any way. It is a records check, not a hardware inspection: always look the device over yourself. Results are for reference only and are not purchase advice. An internet connection is required. Results depend on the records available for that device at the time of the check.
