iPhone 7 Plus blacklisted - Kyled921015 - Dec 20, 2017

Any way to get the phone unblacklisted? It’s through eastlink in Canada. 

Do you think it would be possible to take the phone to the Apple store and tell them the phone isn’t working and hope for a replacement? Or would they look and see that it was reported stolen? Or can anyone unblacklist it? Is there’s anything I can do with this phone?

Well, for one don't steal phones.

two, sell it for parts lol you're not going to get it unblacklisted.

Take it apart and then sell the parts.

I didn’t steal it. I bought it.

I have a feeling it's stolen (by you) but in the event you're telling the truth and you bought it and found out it's stolen - and you'd like to take a risk: Call Apple - inquire about the warranty on the phone. If you have one goto the store and report it broken - see if they'll replace it.

Worse case scenario - They find out it's stolen - they call the cops - you get arrested - and explain to them that you bought it - and if you actually did buy it - dime out the seller that ripped you off.

Friend of mine asked me if this was possible and I posted on here but ended up telling her that its not possible.

Most of the sites are probably scams and even the ones that do look legit claim that it will remain locked in the country its locked in so it's pretty much pointless unless you travel a lot.
