Step-by-step IMEI check for your Velvet

- 02
Choose the original country and carrier for your Velvet
Select where this Velvet was originally locked and the carrier that sold it. This may differ from your current SIM provider.
- 03
Press “Check my device” for your Velvet
The result appears below the form. It checks the IMEI format and may show a possible manufacturer or model match for your Velvet; it does not check the carrier lock or unlock the phone.
- 04
Open the network guide for your Velvet
If you selected the original carrier and the IMEI format is valid, follow the carrier guide link shown below the result for network-specific next steps. The free check itself does not submit or perform an unlock.
What the result means
A catalog match is an estimate of the device manufacturer or model from its TAC. It does not reveal whether this Velvet is network locked, blacklisted, paid off, or eligible for an unlock. Ask the original carrier to verify those details.
