What does bad imei mean?
I want to buy this iPhone for cheap, says it has bad imei for T-Mobile but can be pues off with a few dollars. What does that mean?
Avoid at all cost.
Bad IMEI means it has either been reported lost/stolen or it has been blacklisted due to the previous owner not paying their bill which means it won't work on any network in your country
It is cheap for a reason. As anon said, it is probably stolen.
If you buy it, it will be completely useless to you when you try to activate with your carrier.

It said it was unblocked. What does this mean? Btw it is from at&t But does this mean that i can go to like tmobile or something and connect it there? Or do i still have to get it factory unlocked? Tmobile costs too much for a monthly pay. Are there any other ones that will connect an at&t phone with about 50 dollars / month
