Please check the serial number and type it in apple service coverage or any other site.
It will show whether it is blacklisted (stolen)
No it won't. It just tells you what the warranty coverage is. Apple doesn't track stolen or blacklisted phones (which are not necessarily the same thing).
Wherever you have worked. Fact remains same. There is a global blacklist. Do some research and find out. Because i cant post any links in forums. Please Try typing imeipro in Google.
There is no such thing as a "global blacklist". Some cellular providers share information as to blacklisted phones on their network, but there is no central database of such info.
I am sorry to burst your bubble, but there is no such things as a global blacklist.
Respected Level 9 user, my bubble have burst out. I am crying out now.
There may not be a global blacklist, but the information i have provided could help users at a 50% rate. So please co-operate
Glad to see a new respected Level 10 user!
You do understand what i told but simply choses to avoid the fact and support your fellow big level friends.
You would be better off to send him a coin then.
Yes, I understand perfectly. You claim your information is right 50% of the time, which means it is wrong 50% of the time. Those do not seem like very good odds.
Thank you for being humble and giving proper replies instead of throwing insults.
Bye
Have a Nice Day
Amen
