I’ve got a T-Mobile galaxy J7 on an old plan. I have TMobile prepaid now. Just wondering if it’s possible to unblock that and use my sim. I’ve recently went to a wireless buybax and he was so happy to do that for the s6 edge+ that was on the same plan (cause he wanted to buy it for cheap). Double checking if hes correct that the same could not be done with the j7 before I go buy another.

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 from Craigslist and when I tried to have service added to it, they said the phone is blacklisted.

It was previously a T-mobil phone, so I called them to try and have it unlocked. T-mobil claimes they need the account info to check into the phone, but obviously I don’t have that information. I even offered to pay off the remaining ballance at t-mobil, but they said they cannot provide any information without the original owner’s concent.

I tried calling the person who sold me the phone, but she will not return my calls. I tried using the unlock app that is on the phone, but that didnt work. Is there anything we can do to get this phone off the blacklist so we can get service on it?

Hello I won an auction on ebay for an iPhone 6 with att. It said that there was a bad imei on it and I’m worried, does it wreck the phone or not? And would I have to pay at att for it to get remedied? thanks!

In reply to Lanes.

Hello. A blacklisted sprint phone can be difficult to work with. Blacklisted means the phone has been reported lost or stolen and an insurance claim has been made. As far as the carrier is concerned this phone does not exist any longer on their network. Most blacklisted phones can be unlocked to work outside of the usa with a few exceptions, and some can be used in the usa. The sprint iPhone however, is not one of those. If it has been ‘blocked’ for non payment of bills it can be unlocked to use within the usa – however blacklisted – lost/stolen iphones on sprint will not work in the us once unlocked.

I recently got an iPhone 6s+ and I brought it online. It said “THIS PHONE IS PRE-OWNED & HAS BEEN TESTED, CLEANED & FACTORY RESET. IT LOOKS & WORKS GREAT. NO DINGS, DENTS OR SCRATCHES. POWERS ON, NO ICLOUD LOCK BUT HAS BEEN NOTED AS BLACKLISTED. STILL WORKS.” If it has been noted as a black lost does that mean I can’t take it to sprint to get it turned on? It doesn’t come with a sim card I have to get one. But what do I do? Can I still get it activated with a SIM card with a different carrier or the same carrier ?
