Simple steps
The preview helps identify the device and original network details you provide. Only the original carrier can confirm account-specific unlock eligibility.
Find the 15-digit IMEI by dialing *#06# or in Settings → About, then enter it in the Device Check form for this iPhone 16 Pro.
Select where this iPhone 16 Pro was originally locked and the carrier that sold it. This may differ from your current SIM provider.
Press “Check my device” to validate the number and look for a possible catalog match for your iPhone 16 Pro. This preview does not check carrier lock or unlock eligibility.
If you know the original carrier, follow its official eligibility and unlock process. The free check does not submit or perform an unlock.
Model-specific notes · reviewed 3 October 2026
Apple lists dual eSIM support for iPhone 16 Pro. The physical SIM tray is available on models purchased outside the United States, so the exact SIM setup depends on the sales region and model number. Check the model number in Settings → General → About before buying a replacement SIM or eSIM plan.
If an iPhone shows “SIM Not Supported,” that message can indicate a carrier restriction, but this page’s free IMEI preview cannot diagnose it. A carrier lock is separate from Activation Lock (Find My), which ties the device to an Apple Account, and from blacklist status, which concerns a device reported lost, stolen, or otherwise blocked in participating records. Ask the original carrier about a network lock; ask the previous owner to remove Activation Lock; verify blacklist status through an authoritative source.

Manufacturer information checked 3 October 2026. Carrier policies and regional product specifications can change; confirm the exact device and current requirements with the manufacturer or original carrier.
A catalog match estimates the manufacturer or model from the IMEI’s TAC. It does not reveal whether this iPhone 16 Pro is network locked, blacklisted, paid off, or eligible for an unlock. Ask the original carrier to verify those details.
