Getting a New Smart/Dumb Phone?

If you are getting a new cellphone in Canada (from a private sale, craigslist, kijiji, etc) – check the status of it to make sure it is not “blacklisted” due to it being stolen/lost.

The website below has been checked by local police as valid

If the EMEI number of a phone shows up on the list, you just saved yourself a lot of money and headaches!
