How can I get my iPhone 6s+ off blacklisted?
I bought a iPhone 6s+ from a friend. It was unlocked & all. But once I tryed to put my service on the phone. I was told it was stolen & on the black list. The carrier of the phone is Metro PCS. So how can I get my iPhone 6s + off the blacklist with a Metro PCS carrier
You can't. Only the owner who had it blacklisted can do that.
Did it work for your friend when he/she had it? Then they're the ones who have to do this.
Lesson learned - if you buy a used phone, make sure it works before you hand over the cash.
The original owner is the only person that can legally get it unblacklisted. There are some IMEI unlock services on ebay but it's highly likely that these services are illegal and definitely in violation of ebay's TOU policy and can cause your account to be banned.
- 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
- Where can I use my blacklisted T-mobile phone (iPhone 5)? Just bought a blacklisted iPhone 5 unaware. The phone is tied to a finance agreement with an outstanding balance and is blocked. Anything I can do? Can it be flashed to AT&T or something?
- IPhone is NOT blacklisted, but can't be activated? I recently bought an iPhone and I'm having trouble activating it. The IMEI isn't blacklisted, but I can't get any service on the phone. I believe the phone was under contract and the previous owner neglected to pay their bill. Is there anything I can do? The phone is Verizon, if that makes a difference.
- Can it still be blacklisted? If I buy an iphone off craigslist and I put my sim in it and everything works properly, can the original owner still blacklist the phone even though I'm already using it? If they can will my service shut off?
