National Wireless Independent Dealer Association

IMEIWolfToday, NWIDA is pleased to announce a new service for the wireless dealer and repair shop community.

IMEIReports is a “CarFax” like report for wireless devices. The new website is a one-stop source for critical used mobile device information.

IMEI Reports will provide important need-to-know data about any mobile device. This valuable information is available to any wireless shop purchasing or selling previously owned devices.

Our IMEI-specific data points include SIM Lock status, Make/Model and Storage information, Carrier Checks (Lost/Stolen), Device Compatibility, FMiP status and more. 

Do you purchase devices? This report will ensure the dealer is getting what is promised. 

Do you sell devices? This report will greatly reduce customer chargebacks. By providing a copy of the report with each device sold, there will be no grounds for a customer to dispute a sale.

IMEIReports can be purchased by any wireless dealer. NWIDA retail members will save up to 45% on each report. Reports will cost one credit each. Credits can be purchased one at a time, or in groups to lower the per-report cost. 

In addition, every NWIDA retail member will receive five free reports each year. 

To learn more about this valuable tool, and view a sample report, visit IMEIReports.com
