🔍 Services That Accept Serial Numbers

Several of our OEM-focused services are enabled to accept serial numbers as valid input. These include:

⚙️ Cascading Call Flow (CCF) Support for Serials

PrologMobile’s Cascading Call Flows can be configured to accept serial numbers, including the preconfigured High Volume Flow (Service #3000). This allows users to run multiple checks in sequence using only a serial number via:

  • UI Input
  • API Integration

We can also tailor custom CCFs to optimize workflows for specific client needs — including WiFi-only device detection, model normalization, or serial-to-IMEI mapping when needed.


🛑 Limitations: GSMA Blocklist

The GSMA blocklist requires an IMEI and does not support non-cellular (serial-only) devices. Any checks for stolen or blacklisted status must be performed on devices with IMEIs.


📬 Recommended Workflow

  1. Input Serial Number through UI or API.
  2. Use Apple OEM, Samsung OEM, or MacBook Identification service based on device type.
  3. Optionally, run through Cascading Call Flow 3000 for bundled data return.
  4. If needed, contact support for custom CCF logic or use-case optimization.

🧠 Example Use Cases

  • Validating WiFi-only iPads for trade-in or insurance claims.
  • Checking FMIP/MDM lock status on MacBooks prior to resale.
  • Identifying configuration and warranty status for refurbished inventory.
  • Automating workflows where only serial numbers are available.
