Check my phone — free

Is your phone's model Type Approved?

Enter the model number from the box, the back of the phone, or Settings → About phone. The check is free and takes a moment. The Commission's own checker at ncc.gov.ng/devicechecker takes the IMEI number and shows the model and its Type Approval status.

Try SM-A165F, A3287, KL5, X6880 or 24040RN64Y — or type a name like “Spark 30”.

Please enter the model number.

Dial *#06#. Not needed for the check.

Three possible answers

Type Approved
This model is on the Commission's Type Approval register. Your own phone: call 315, free. A shop's stock: Dealer Registration.

Not found on the register
It cannot be registered until the manufacturer or an importer applies for Type Approval. We charge nothing.

Needs manual confirmation
The model number matches more than one entry, or is written differently on the register. Leave your name and phone number and we will confirm. No charge.
