Hi there.
So I have an I-phone 11. Recently someone reported my phone as stolen (when it wasn't) and got my phone black listed. Will Apple take it as a trade in? I read the trade in thingy and my phone works great (well it did before the black list) and is in great condition.

I don't think so, if it has been blacklisted.
Contact your carrier, explain your problem, and ask them to cancel your iPhone from the blacklist, if you're eligible.

Personally, if it were me, I'd spend the $50 to sue the carrier in small claims court for the price of a new phone.
The carrier is not going to list the phone as stolen unless someone was able to produce information that would allow them to access your account. If it is AT&T (which I have) it is a 4 digit code that you set and they won't do anything with the account unless this code is given. What are you leaving out about who it was that reported your iPhone stolen?
Thank you, my carrier is being stupid and wont lift it. Thank you though.
You are welcome
Did you buy it used? That's a common scam.
No I didn't. I bought it straight from Apple 2 years ago, paid cash too. Then on the 3rd, BOOM I've been black listed and they said someone reported it stolen. I even brought them proof of purchase.
I might have too because this is getting ridiculous. They wont even accept my proof of payment.
Can I trade in a black listed iPhone?
