Searched Blancco but need used phone testing software for the repair or trade-in bench? Those are different categories.

Free $0 / €0 / £0 · Premium US $25 / EU €21.90 / UK £19.90 per month

Check Up is diagnostics-first phone testing for repair shops and trade-in / buyback shops:

  • Instant Diagnostics (internal + interactive) for iOS and Android
  • Mobile App Diagnostics — display, cameras, audio, sensors, controls, connectivity
  • Grading profiles + PDF reports and labels
  • device history reports in your workspace — documentation for the chain
  • Optional secured data erasure for a clean handoff
  • Service history available so you know what’s been replaced (iOS)
  • Free plan: 5 checks/mo · $0/€0/£0 · Multiple stations (workspace-wide limits) · 1 month history
  • Premium: US $25 · EU €21.90 · UK £19.90 (250 checks, 55 IMEI blacklist, carrier lock sample, users & roles, 6 months history)

Blancco sits in a different category: enterprise erasure tooling. This page is not a Blancco product guide — it’s for shops who landed here needing station diagnostics, grading, and reports.

Free includes: Instant Diagnostics, Mobile App Diagnostics, grading, PDF reports/labels, device history reports, secured data erasure, and service history available so you know what’s been replaced (iOS).

Premium adds: higher check volume, IMEI blacklist (55/mo), carrier lock check included to sample (add-on packs if you need more), users & roles, and 6 months history.

A carrier (or network/SIM) lock check shows whether a device is locked to a carrier or unlocked. If it’s locked, shops need to know which carrier, whether that carrier fits the buyer (you don’t want to be stuck with a phone locked to a carrier that doesn’t matter to the customer), how lock status changes device pricing, and whether there are financial obligations on the device — separate from IMEI blacklist status.

Who Check Up is for

  • Independent and small repair shops that need intake + post-repair QC
  • Trade-in / buyback shops that test before payout
  • Teams that want a clear Free → Premium path without enterprise onboarding theater

Check Up is not a full buyback POS.

Can I check IMEI blacklist and carrier lock?

On Premium. Blacklist: 55/mo. Premium includes a carrier lock check so you can try it on real devices. Need higher volume? Add-on packs are available — these checks are costly, so we don't bury unlimited lookups in the base plan. A carrier (or network/SIM) lock check shows whether a device is locked to a carrier or unlocked. If it's locked, shops need to know which carrier, whether that carrier fits the buyer (you don't want to be stuck with a phone locked to a carrier that doesn't matter to the customer), how lock status changes device pricing, and whether there are financial obligations on the device — separate from IMEI blacklist status.

Is Check Up a full buyback POS?

No. Check Up is diagnostics-first — not a full buyback POS.
