There's no way you can check to see if the IMEI is on the hotlist. Sites offer to check, but I would not go by that even if I had to put money on it. They are wildly inaccurate. As for it being locked to a carrier, that's something that you have to find out using a SIM Card and even if it locked, only the carrier can unlock it if it meets the criteria for it.
