A relative of mine recently purchased an iPhone 7 (AT&T) online. Upon the arrival of the “not blacklisted/stolen” phone, they later found out that it was reported stolen by what I can only assume was the seller in this case. So how does one actually go about removing the blacklisted/stolen status off this phone?
If the blacklist is via IMEI, there is no way to remove a blacklist. I would return this phone to the seller ASAP.
The seller has received a new phone and is not responding to my messages
