Hello. I purchased a 14 Pro 18 months ago and it’s been working fine until yesterday when it suddenly stopped asking my mobile provider network. Called my provider and they advised that it had been blacklisted but didn’t know why.
Purchased on eBay and no way to contact the Seller any more as it’s been 18 months.
Any suggestions on his I can get the blacklist removed? I will try contacting Three again.
Thanks
iPhone 14 Pro
You can file a fraud claim with eBay. Only the person who initiated the blacklist can remove it. You can check on it here→CTIA Stolen Phone Checker
What sometimes happens, someone wants a new phone, so they report the IMEI of the phone they sold as stolen, file an insurance claim and get a new phone→The All Too Common SAD Reality of Buying a Used iPad/iPhone
You probably purchased a stolen phone, and the real owner (with original purchase receipt proof) asked to have the phone blacklisted after it became clear they were never going to get it back.
That's one possible scenario, but I think a likely one. Lawrence's point is also a very good possibility.
