Can you unblock an imei? Iphone 5?

Someone on Ebay is selling an Iphone 5 and it says its IMEI blocked. I know in the past I've unlocked my imei on previous iphone's would this work with the iphone 5 or is it totally useless. Seems a bit strange because it doesn't look stolen because comes with box & accessories. Its a bargain.

Is there anyway I could use the phone if I bought it.

Yes, you can get it factory unlocked. You can use sites like this:

it really works.

  • Unblock a iphone 4 imei from carrier blacklist? I have a iphone 4 from tmobile didn't pay the bill now the phone is blocked from further activation i'm thinking about selling it but i need to know will it stay as an ipod forever or can the imei be unblocked and reused on that network? I have factory unlocked it but still no luck it is basically an expensive ipod
  • Lost iPhone - blocked imei - now found, can I unblock? I lost my iPhone but someone kindly returned it to the hotel I lost it at. I reported it stolen/ missing at the time and it got blocked- obviously I can't really afford a brand new iPhone 5 when this one is fine but now my sim doesn't work (no signal just 3G) if I go to O2 with proof it's me will they unblock it for me?
  • Is there anyway to unblock an IMEI number? Some more information: I bought the phone off of craigslist, it is an iPhone 5S, my network is T-Mobile, and it says it's stolen when I check the IMEI number on T-Mobile's website. It worked for a few months until recently
  • Is it possible to UNBLOCK an iphone or not because the imei? I bought a iphone a few weeks ago and the person didn't tell me its blocked so i'm fuming. Is there any way of unblocking it? Or anyone no where i can get it unblocked? In the uk please
