Did you know that there are certain things you need to check before you buy a second-hand mobile device? Well, one of the principal steps before the actual purchase is to run an IMEI check to see whether the phone is blacklisted, locked to its carrier, and last but not least, whether it’s a replacement device or not. Learn with UnlockHere everything about replaced/repaired phones, the importance of device replacement verifications, and all there is to know to loop up your smartphone’s status with us.
What is Device Replacement Verification?
When you run an IMEI check with UnlockHere, it’ll include the device replacement status of the smartphone in question, but what exactly is that? Well, that is a type of verification you run to see if that phone has been replaced, repaired, or refurbished, and to confirm its authenticity so that you can have clear expectations before buying it.
In UnlockHere, we believe users should know everything about their devices before they pay for them. That’s why this procedure will help you not only tell if the handset in question is a replacement, but also to see if that replacement also comes with the conditions that the original device had. That includes very important things like warranty coverage with the manufacturer or network provider (if it was originally bought with a wireless carrier), which is very useful when you’re buying a second-hand phone.

How to see your Phone’s Replacement Status and Insurance Coverage
Well, people normally need to see if the seller provides them with the details on whether the phone they want to buy is actually new or if it is a replacement. However, as these handsets are normally out-of-warranty but seem to be new, they simply don’t mention it, but don’t worry because we can definitely help you.
Nowadays, thanks to IA advances, UnlockHere can check your device status protection using only your IMEI, and without needing to contact Apple Support, Google Store help, or anyone in general. All you have to do is visit UnlockHere.com, which is our official website and where we process all requests, and select the “IMEI Check” option. Then:
- Click on the “Let’s Start” button.
- Enter your phone’s IMEI number.
- Follow the steps to download the report.
Was your Phone Refurbished, Repaired, or Replaced?
With our online IMEI check, you’ll get to download a comprehensive report of your device protection status, which will include relevant information like:
- Whether that’s a damaged device that got some sort of in-store repair.
- If the phone got any accidental damage.
- The phone’s status regarding its manufacturer’s warranty or AppleCare protection.
- If the device has been through a refurbishing process.
- Whether the phone’s previous owner filed a claim and received a replacement.
- Other key details concerning the device’s status.
With this, you’ll count on all the information you need to consider whether that’s a good purchase or the handset has something that could impact its performance in the long run. However, that’s not all you’re going to receive! We’ll also make sure to provide you with your phone’s blacklist status and to tell you if it has any type of lock, so it’s very complete, right?
When you should verify your Phone’s Replacement Status and Warranty Coverage
Running these types of checks to look up your device’s status is something people should actually do every now and then, but there are certain specific circumstances under which we highly recommend it. For example, right after receiving the replacement of your device (to make sure it meets the conditions previously agreed upon) or after any claim is filled to confirm the phone is covered under the terms of your insurance policy.
Run a Replacement Verification if you’re not buying from the Manufacturer
If you’re planning on getting a new phone but found it a little bit cheaper somewhere else, we highly recommend that you run this check beforehand. That’s something very important because, as we mentioned, even though replacement phones might work just fine, they don’t come with the same conditions as new phones.
Run a Replacement Verification if you’re going to buy a Used Phone
If you are thinking of buying a second-hand smartphone, you must run this check not only because the conditions are different in replacement phones, but also because they come with limited warranty. So, it is recommendable to first check the status of the smartphone and then confirm if you still want it and agree to pay its current resell price or think you should get it cheaper because of its condition.
Replacement Verification and Repaired or Replacement Devices – FAQs
Well, refurbished phones are handsets that were returned to the manufacturer or authorized provider for them to repair and restore, which happens when they had a malfunction and were replaced. Now, on the other hand, a replacement phone is the one they give you when you return your device because of any malfunction, which can be a new, refurbished, or repaired device.
To check if your iOS device is original, you can either run a serial number check directly with Apple, or you can use UnlockHere’s IMEI lookup tool. The only one difference is that if you run the check with us, we’ll provide you with a full report of your phone’s status, not only its autenticity.
Receiving a replacement does affect your warranty because it is transferred to the new handset, and the conditions for it are definitely not the same as the ones for the original. It all depends on the policies of the manufacturer or authorized seller, but you have to be careful because the coverage period doesn’t renewed from the moment you receive the new device. That means the new phone will only have coverage for the couple of months the original one had left, and not with the same coverage.
