What if your IMEI is blocked?

If you lock your phone's IMEI, it will no longer be valid when it comes to connecting to cellular networks. The procedure is irreversible and it is recommended if your phone is stolen from you to ensure that the thief cannot sell your device. However, it doesn't always work as only 44 countries around the world have a common database of IMEI numbers.

You can also use a device's IMEI to know if it's free or has been blocked by an operator. Don't forget that nowadays all phones sold by a telecom provider need to be unlocked, so it can be useful to check if that's true or not.
