Unlock Blacklisted iPhone 5?

I found this iPhone 5 two years ago and the owner never responded to my calls or emails so I soon forgot about the phone. Now I broke my own iPhone and remembered the one I had found, when I turned it on I checked the IMEI number and found it to be blocked. My question is there anyway that I can unlock it and use it?

Nope, it's blacklisted for a reason, if there was a way to unblock it then that would make blacklisting phones pointless

  • Will my iphone be blacklisted? I just found a Iphone 4s on the ground with the password. I want to reset it to factory settings but I'm worried that the phone will be blacklisted. Will the Iphone be blacklisted if I reset it to factory settings? @Bane, are you trying to say that I stole it? You, you filthy cotton-headed ninnymuggins. So @AVDADDY I can use the phone if I reset it to factory settings or not? @Bane YOLO But @Jon Yoda Can I use the phone if I reset it to factory settings?
  • Will i get caught using a blacklisted iphone 4s? I found one but it is blacklisted, i wanna use it as an ipod but i was wondering if i could get caught by putting the sim card in and leaving it there. I hate that no sim message. Phone i already activated
  • Is it possible to unlock a blacklisted IPhone 5? I have this phone that I bought on ebay, although I only notice after a month or so, they told me that the phone I bought is stolen and had a bad ESN. Immediately I tried to find out if it was possible to return and get a refund, unfortunately I can't. My only options left is whether I can sell it or possibly unlock it. Can I use the phone overseas?
  • I've been sold a blacklisted iPhone? I recently bought an iPhone 5c from Game, who told me the phone was ex-contract. However, after owning the phone for 3 days it stopped working and I finally found out it had been blacklisted. I'm going to be able to get a full refund from them, but I was wondering if I'd be able to get any compensation at all for wasting my time, and for breach of contract. Any advice would be helpful!
