Imei blacklist database - GSM-Forum

doonhamer · 11-29-2010, 21:23

Hi All

I bought an old Iphone of a guy in the pub for very cheap price. Its a bit scuffed up etc but works (at least partly)

Have the no network issue so think it might be blacklisted. If it is at least I have an ipod!

Sure I read somewhere about a database where you check the IMEI to see if its carrier blocked. Does anyone know where I can find this or provide a link?

Thanks

Two scenarios:

1 - If the iPhone is LOCKED to some carrier, just put a SIM card that specific carrier.

2 - If the iPhone is FACTORY UNLOCKED, just put a SIM card from ANY carrier.

If you don't get any service with the SIM card inserted on either the scenarios, your iPhone is blacklisted.
Nevertheless, if it does work and if the iPhone came overseas (from your accent, I take you like in the UK), then it's possible it still might be blacklisted in some other country.

One last thing, go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > ABOUT and tell us what you see in the NETWORK, CARRIER and MODEL specifications.

There are several. Easiest, free way is to try and sell it to mazuma.. You will get a confirmation free of charge within a few hours..
