# Phonecheck

> Phonecheck is the device-processing platform used by buyback programs, refurbishers, marketplaces, carriers, insurers, and ITAD operators to diagnose, certify, and erase used phones, tablets, and computers at volume. Every device leaves with a Device History Report and, where erased, a signed certificate of erasure with chain of custody.
