The DeviceDecoded alternative to imei.org
imei.org covers much of the same ground — free decodes, blacklist and carrier lookups, paid reports and an API. The difference is where the unlock happens: DeviceDecoded performs iCloud activation-lock, Android FRP and network unlocks itself, on the same account and the same support thread as the checks, so a device you have just checked is unlocked without starting again somewhere else.
