I'm trading my Note 3 for a M8 and want to make sure Its clean.. Whats the best way to check this?

IMEI? Is that a definite way? I saw that swappa allows you to check for free

Call in to your carrier and give them the IMEI # so they can check

Who's your carrier? You can always go to a store verify before the purchase. That's what I've done with my previous Sprint phones. With Sprint it's ESN.

there is no way to verify 100%.. if it was lost or stolen or a bill has gone unpaid, it could take weeks for the carrier to blacklist it..

size up the seller in person.
