Can I unlock AT&T iPhone 5C with bad IMEI?

Sure you can. That doesn't mean you can use it anywhere else, but you can get it unlocked.

Bad IMEI? The phone was reported stolen wasn't it? Not much you can do about that. You can unlock it but the IMEI has been blacklisted.

You would only be use it outside the States. That is what you wanted to hear, right?
It can't be removed from the US blacklist. It can be unlocked though. The cost it higher than for a clean IMEI. Check eBay or other 3rd party services.

I hope we helped. Please TRY TO RETURN the phone first. Someone is missing it, I'm sure!
