What can I check with IMEI number ?
Mobile phones have an analogue of the VIN number of the car. This is called IMEI. If you've ever thought about buying a used car, you know how important it is to check your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) ahead of time. This 17-digit code tells almost everything about the car you are buying. Or, if you've ever sold a used car yourself, you know that a VIN is one of the first things a serious buyer will ask for. If it shows that you are acting in good faith. Mobile phone's IMEI number check is the same

iCloud activation lock status
Apple provides a very useful Find My iPhone tool for years, but it got even better after iOS 7.0 introduced "Activation lock" or "iCloud lock". If you're looking for a used iPhone, find one in good condition and reasonably priced, but having "Activation Lock" turned on is an red flag. An activation-locked iPhone can only be unlocked using original owner's iCloud credentials. So buying a locked iCloud phone is not a good idea.
UNLOCK
CHECK SIMLOCK status
A SIM lock, simlock, network lock, carrier lock or (master) lock is a technical restriction built into GSM and CDMA mobile phones by mobile phone manufacturers for use by service providers to restrict the use of these phones to specific countries and/or networks. This is in contrast to a phone (retrospectively called SIM-free or unlocked) that does not impose any SIM restrictions
CHECK IT
CHEck phone blacklist
If the phone is blacklisted, it means that the device has been lost or stolen. Blacklist is a database of all reported IMEI or ESN numbers. If you have a device with a blacklisted number, your carrier may block services. In the worst case, local authorities may take your phone.

If I hadn't run the TestIMEI Report on each of the four phones, we would have bought the wrong phone. And that means we would have wasted/lost $400 to $500.
