CSV IMEI Checker
CSV is the common interchange format between warehouse software, Sheets and Excel.
Recommended CSV format
- UTF-8, comma or tab separated.
- Row 1 is the header.
- One code per row; do not join codes with semicolons in a cell.
Workflow
- Export CSV from the warehouse / ERP system.
- Upload to BatchIMEI.
- Download the .xlsx result and map it back into the ERP if needed.
Common pitfalls
ANSI encodings break non-ASCII headers; Excel may convert serials to scientific notation — set the code column to Text before saving.
CSV vs native Excel
CSV is light and easy to automate; Excel keeps multiple sheets/formatting. Prefer CSV for system integration and Excel for manual work.
Daily operations checklist
- Normalize serial/IMEI columns before upload (uppercase, dedupe, drop blanks).
- Split batches to ≤1,000 codes; watch the 5,000/day user limit.
- Store OUTPUT files with intake/delivery records for later disputes.
- Check Activation Lock on-device — Coverage is not a substitute.
- Quick filters: Not Actived, Day warranty left < 30, mismatched model.
See the business hub and glossary.
For large volume, also read checking 10,000 serials in Excel.
Summary & CTA
An Excel workflow lets stores and warehouses verify Apple activation/warranty faster than one-by-one checks. Start with 5 free checks after email verification, then scale with your real inbound volume.
Operational goal: every inbound lot has an OUTPUT file attached — which units are activated, how many warranty days remain, whether models match — before you pay or put stock on the shelf.
Frequently asked questions
Are results CSV or Excel?
An .xlsx workbook with INPUT/OUTPUT regions; Save As CSV if you need it.
Is there a file-size limit?
The practical limit is code count (1,000/run) more than megabytes.
How do I start with BatchIMEI?
Create an account, verify email for 5 free checks, prepare an Excel/CSV file with an IMEI or serial column, then upload to run a batch.
Do I need IT to get started?
No. Warehouse staff can export Excel/CSV and upload on the BatchIMEI web app. An API only matters when embedding into an ERP/WMS.

Stop checking Apple identifiers one at a time
BatchIMEI accepts an Excel/CSV file of Apple IMEIs or serial numbers, processes up to 1,000 identifiers per batch, and exports activation and warranty results. The current price is 500 VND per successful check.
