Remove from Lost Stolen black list

I bought an Ipad for my grandmother. When she passed, I reported as lost with Verizon to avoid any usage prior to receiving it back. Vz cannot add back because it is on a black list. Can apple update it? Or is Vz struggling with something they can do?

My iphone was stolen a month ago if I erase the content what happens? My phone was stolen a month ago. Now it’s in China. I’ve gotten the message to erase the content and remove from my Apple ID. When I got my phone stolen I put it on lost mode when I couldn’t find it and changed my Apple ID password. Now, I’m getting messages that my information is going to get duplicated in the black market. i didn’t erase this device because i got scared that it would just give them access to the full phone and they can use it. Does anyone know what happens if I erase it? Will it not have a passcode anymore even if it’s on lost mode?

Apple does not maintain or report anything to a blacklist.

Only the carriers do that.

You will have to work it out with Verizon.
