All these accounts recommending others are are scammer accounts. DO NOT TRUST ANYONE. There is no fix for a blacklisted phone other than the carrier/owner. Have a nice life. Goodbye.
Marie Claire I’m really disappointed in him. Dude took my money and the issue is not resolved. He’s probably your homeboy so naturally you have to give him a shoutout and promote him on here.
I got almost the exact same schpeel from ATT "It can only be blocked once and it won't happen again." SO they unblocked it and I had my phone, for an HOUR. Then it was blocked AGAIN. When I called back, the next agent told me the first agent was mistaken, she was so sorry, blah blah blah, but it HAS to be unblocked at the store it was blocked at. Which store is that? "We can't see that information from here." Riiiight. What a waste of my time and money. I call bullcrap on all of these companies. It's unfair that the laws have made it easy for phone carriers to block a phone that's been sold and, unbeknownst to us buyers, is worthless. I'm not getting into a contract and paying $500 or more DOWN on a phone that is worth $200 on Amazon within a year or two. I'm just getting a $15 Wal mart phone now and calling it a day and using my Samsung as a friggin tablet.
Red, all well said: the entire smartphone industry IS A CON'. A giant global scam. Tje circuit boards and cpus aremt worth nearly what they are charging. all the prcoessors are old hat. People and businesses can owe debts, INanimate Objects like phones cannot. That is why the blacklist is such a stupid asinine arbitrary system
Thank you so much for posting this. It's so simple, yet no one thinks to do it because they are told that there is no way they will do it. I spent a week of my life trying to get this thing unlocked and was literally about to sell it for parts tomorrow. I called them and it took all of 2 minutes to unlock.Thank you!
OMG DUDE IT WORKED LOL!!! Called the first time the lady was a butthole and told me to call Apple,I waited 5 min called back and got the sweetest lady ever and she unblocked it with no hesitation !!
Lmao my Pixel 2XL had been stolen so I had blacklisted. After 4 months I went on an online IMEI checker to look mine up. It was unlocked 2 days before hand. Well needless to say I had it black listed again. If I can't have the phone no one can.
welcome to every solution to almost all of life's real problems lmao. it's crazy what you can get done if you are just nice to a receptionist on the phone.
I literally just did it and it worked. You have to talk a certain way display disbelief and concern sound distraught don’t get frustrated with the rep. Thanks so much for making this video.
@@crazycotton I will try on sprint. I bought an iphone it worked at first then all of a sudden its not. Found out it was blacklisted due to non payment.
Broooooo this man just saved me soooo much money. bought blacklisted s20 FE for $200 on ebay. in the past I've bought networked locked phone and I thought a blacklisted imei would be similar.......boy was I wrong. T mobile store said no cuz it was stolen understandable. I was honestly 2 hrs away from throwing my hands up and pay for an imei change. right after I watched this video called T mobile on my severely cracked Oneplus 7T (literally on its last leg screen flashes because of the damaged screen😭😭) literally on the phone for 5 mins not even 10 mins told them i bought it at a pawn shop lol, told them I wanted to use on Verizon while I am on t mobile. the rep said they still needed my tmobile account, I was skeptical but gave it to him. 2 mins later he says its been unlocked but may take 24 hrs to go through
AT&T will not do it..........they will not even let you know if it is stolen or lost. Also they could give a F about mediating to help both sides WTF .Dude you lucked out
James Mana your right on this. Att would not unlocked the stolen phone I bought. Your video script is spot on, how my ending was “ I am sorry but nothing we can do unless you can have the original buyer call in and request it un blacklisted with receipt.
MsMiraDoll you contacted T-Mobile and they couldn't help you? In my case the phone I had was blocked due to insufficient payments and that eventually got cleared up once I confirmed I that my T-Mobile account was in good standing. They then removed the blocked iPhone I purchased from the blacklist and I'm using it up until this day. I need to know your full scenario before I can pin point what's wrong
Nicholas Hylton same here, I sadly bought a blacklisted phone that worked until a few days ago, the phone was blocked because of unfinished payments. What exactly can I do? Or what do I tell them to unblock my phone like they did to yours?
I bought iPhone 7 plus from offer up and it gets blocked by t-mobile cuz due balance. They could not even let me pay the due balance or any info. After talking with them 3+ hours( last 4 days). They let me use t-mobile!! Thank you. I gave up after call them once but after seeing this video I called them multiple times and finally, they removed the lock... Thanks a lot, @story bones!!! Worked for me even tho 3 hours but like $400.. worth it.
Taohid Sarker I really also buy my iPhone 7 Plus on that page, and it is blocked for the t-mobile network and also the imei is out of jail, I call t-mobile and I say,? I will not get into trouble for having a phone blocked? Tell me please
If it's not iCloud block and only block by TMobile u can call them and ask about it. They say they won't unlock it unless original owner pay the bill but u have to talk with them a lot . Then maybe they ll unlocked the phone
They don't want to unlock but just tell them. Whatever the guy say in the video.like I bought the phone for $400 and now u can't contract with the original owner. U r trying to but ....maybe you have to talk to them hour and hour and with different person on costumer service only (611)
This is a wonderful example of a few concepts I have a hard time explaining to many: Civil discourse is your best first option in conventional setting, it cant open every door but many people will take many options away from you if you are being rude & hostile (the best & easiest). Policy is not the same as law & the laws of men are not the same as the laws of nature- policy can be disregaurded at will and many employees in many companies are given limited or full discretion whether to follow policy on at least a per case basis, the laws of men are obligatory on the people of the realm for as long as they are on the books but, they can also be altered or abolished, the laws of nature are they only immutable facts.
You, I like. Unlike most, I appreciate thoughtful, on-point streams-of-consciousnesses type posts as I'm prone to making them too. I, unlike the 2nd commenter in response to your post, do not feel that "any try hard can sound like Shakespeare" applies here at all. If anything, he's referring to those who write in an ambiguous and pseudo-intellectual way with 'big words' but are hardly actually saying anything, their words obviously being used to portray intilect without the substance or wherewithal to actually do so. Here, you've conveyed thoughts into words-- in a writing style that's likely typical in all your writing, on or offline. That's enough of my guessing and commenting on the matter though. ** Side note: This is coming from a "high-functioning" autistic with a penchant for the exasperating long-form in both speech and the written word, as long as I have interest in the matter. Otherwise, and most usually, I rarely make a peep.
bro this really did work i called sprint for a iphone 6 plus that i bought in offer uop and i uswed the same story you did i acted all dumb and she told me she would unlock it for me that it would take 3 days it worked thanks so much dude
Please before buying a phone check if it's blacklisted. However in some cases it may happen 6 months down the line. I have a S20 FE I got a good deal on and I didn't know the person I bought it from so I was careful, I've checked it's clean and legit but worried if it was a financial phone I may have issues.
I have requested white listing with my carrier they mentioned they have done it from their end, how long will it take for the changes to reflect in my iPhone, do I need call apple to for it?
malia jones I just called Tmobile and they said they will send me an email for instructions how to unlock it so I'm guessing it worked, did they send you an email or they just unlocked it for you? Cuz they told me the customer has to unlock it
I got my 8 plus and 11 unblacklisted by Mavs_techs after I bought it from a pawn shop that swore it wasn't and then it got blacklisted 2 days after. Thanks to Mavs_techs
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I too have a new blacklisted phone and was wondering what I could do to use it. This was a great help. Blessings from Iowa.
The s5 was probably one of the worse phones ever when running on that crappy bloatware that Samsung called their operating system. I'm surprised they didn't go out of business after the s3, s4 and s5.
