Phone IMEI Verification via e-Devlet (Turkey)

Every mobile phone in Turkey must have its IMEI registered with the BTK telecom regulator before it can be used on local networks. The e-Devlet IMEI service verifies whether a specific phone's IMEI is properly registered, blocked, or pending registration.

Essential before buying a second-hand phone in Turkey — an unregistered IMEI means the device will be cut off from the network within 120 days.
