We recently started working with codat.ro and the experience has been very positive so far. Their services are excellent, the pricing is competitive, and the team is highly professional. One of the biggest advantages for us is the live support they offer to business partners. Whenever we need help or have a question, they respond quickly and clearly, which makes the collaboration much easier.

I'm from the UK and dodged a proper scam with an iPhone that had an iCloud bypass on it, sorted thanks to this website. Can't recommend it enough! Quid well spent, saved me a few hundred quid in the process.

Frequently asked questions.
How do I find the IMEI in Settings?
On iPhone: Settings → General → About, then scroll to IMEI and press and hold to copy it. On Android: Settings → About phone → Status or IMEI information. If you cannot open Settings, dial *#06# in the Phone app; if the device will not turn on, check the SIM tray or the label on its box. An IMEI has 15 digits.
Can I check the phone before meeting the seller?
Yes. Ask for the IMEI before meeting, not just a screenshot, and check it so you know what to ask and test. When you have the phone in hand, compare the IMEI in the report with the one shown by *#06#. If the seller refuses to provide it, treat that as a warning sign.
The phone looks fine. Why is a check still useful?
Yes. An activation lock, theft report, network issue or unpaid installment may not be visible at first glance and can surface after you reset the phone or use another SIM. The report complements an in-person test; check the battery, screen, cameras and proof of ownership separately.
How is Codat different from an IMEI check that says “clean”?
A “clean” result only says that one check did not return a problem. Codat brings the available results for that phone into an explained report: what is fine, what to ask the seller and what to test before paying. Not every check exists for every brand, model or package.
What should I do if the report shows a lock or risk?
Do not pay until you understand the issue. Ask the seller for an explanation and proof of ownership; if it is an account or management lock, confirm that it is resolved with the seller present. The report helps you understand the risk, but it cannot remove a lock.
What should I compare when I have the phone in hand, before paying?
Compare the IMEI in the report with *#06#, the box and the invoice, if available. Then check the model, the functions that matter to you, the battery, screen and cameras, and whether the seller can show that the phone was properly removed from their account. The report and physical test complement each other.
