Hey guys, I am Makis.
Hello all and I am Zisis.
Welcome to another episode of UlrtaSnow iPhone Unlocking YouTube Show.
Today we are going to see about iPhone Blacklist Removal.
Many of you bought a used iPhone and proved to be blacklisted.
Also, many of you believe that an iPhone gets blacklisted only when it is reported as lost
or stolen to a Mobile Network.
this is not true at all.
The are various other reason an iPhone's Blacklist Status.
But this is why we are here for so, we'll see what is the Blacklist, how an iPhone becomes
blacklisted, which are the restrictions on a blacklisted iPhone and of course, what are
our options when we want to remove the Blacklist Status from an iPhone.

So, let's get to it.
Yeah, with the basics, the iPhone Blacklist and what it is.
It is an anti-theft measurement that started in Australia in 2013 if I am not mistaken.
The thought behind it was that its iPhone has a unique IMEI number so, it is very easy
to identify or mark it actually if it lost, stolen, clean or any other blacklist reason.
As I said it started from Australia and also Europe, USA, Canada and many other countries
implemented it to their systems.
So, each country and all its Carriers within it has a common blacklist database and also
some countries share their Blacklists with each other.
You can't just google and find which countries share their Blacklists.
What we know from our personal experience is that the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brasil and
Puerto Rico share their Blacklists and this means that when an iPhone is blacklisted for
example in the USA at the same time is blacklisted in all the other countries and vice verca.
The same applies to any of them, for all of them.
We are not sure if the same thing exists in other countries until now we didn't find something
like this to Europe or Asia but this is a fact, these 5 countries share the same blacklist.
Beware if your iPhone is blacklisted to any of them.
So, how an iPhone becomes blacklisted.
Reported as lost or stolen is the most obvious reason, when it is reported as lost or stolen
by the original owner to the locking Mobile Network, this is how an iPhone becomes blacklisted
but this is not all because an iPhone will also become blacklisted when it is flagged
as replaced and this can happen due to an illegal hardware replacement, this is a really
awful iPhone Unlocking method, don't try it, never.
And the same also happens when an iPhone is protected by an Insurance Plan.
The owner can report it as lost or stolen to his Insurance company and he will get a
replacement.
The other iPhone he lost or it was stolen it will become blacklisted at the same time.
Also, an iPhone can be blacklisted because it was involved in fraud activities, this
might be a robbery or another criminal act or after an illegal purchasing.
I am not sure how this works but it works, trust me.
And finally, there is also the Pending Contact Bills, we all know that if you don't pay your
monthly tariff for 2 months in a row, your iPhone can't be used, it is Blacklisted.
Ok, sometimes we say that it's not blacklisted because it is a little bit different but it's
another blacklisting reason.
Let's go to the restrictions now of a Blacklisted iPhone.
The obvious one is that you will not be able to use it inside the country it was blacklisted.
If your iPhone gets Blacklisted by a USA Network, for instance, AT&T you will not be able to
use it inside the USA with any Mobile Network and with the other neighbor countries, Canada,
Mexico, Brazil and Puerto Rico.
But the good thing, let say the good thing is that if your iPhone is already unlocked,
network unlocked, you will be able to use it in a different country, let's say a European
country, UK or in Italy or Spain.
You will be able to do that or even in America, Uruguay, Perou, South America.
But it is always good not to own a Blacklisted iPhone even if you use it outside the Blacklist
country.
And of course, unlocking a Blacklisted iPhone can happen, we will do another video and tell
you more about it but this one is about iPhone Blacklist Removal and we will focus on it.
The most obvious way to remove the blacklist status from an iPhone is as long as the Blacklisting
reason no longer applies.
So, what I am saying now.. let's say for example if an iPhone was lost or stolen but the original
owner reported that he found the iPhone.
This can't happen of course and it will never happen or another example would be for pending
contract bills if the original iPhone owner decided to pay the unpaid bills, the same
goes here the iPhone will be unblacklisted.
Or if you have very good negotiation skills and talk with the owner and manage to persuade
him to remove the Blacklist Status.
Yes, but it would be nice if you could find the original owner and trust me... even if
you know the network that blacklisted the iPhone and you call them and ask for original
owner's contact information, they won't give it to you and they shouldn't give it to you.
So we are in need of a 3d-party iPhone Blacklist Removal Service.
Yeah, for sure.
the first thing is to perform a Blacklist IMEI Check.
The reason behind this is very obvious.
We already have a video that explains everything in detail but I will say it again in short.
You will find out which Mobile Network blacklisted your iPhone and the reason that this device
was blacklisted.
Those 2 things are very important in order to pick the right service, the iPhone UNblacklist
Service for your iPhone.
Only your IMEI number is needed for this process.
So there are currently, 3 services that you can use.
The first is T-Mobile Unblacklist Service, already we created a video and you can find
it above.
It only works for Lost, Stolen and Fraud devices.
The next is Verizon Unblacklist Service.
It works for all Blacklisted Statuses and the last one it is not an unblacklist, this
is, let's say unbar, it basically removes the unpaid bills status from a Sprint USA
iPhone.
There are also a lot of restrictions there so, we also created one video for that, you
can also find it above us and pay a lot of attention in that video because it has a lot
of details that you need to know in order to remove the unpaid Bills Status.
So, only those 3 services are available for the time being.
So, right now you know everything about Blacklisted iPhones and everything around it.
iPhone Blacklist Removal is possible but for very specific Mobile Networks, unfortunately.
If you found any services that tell you that ok we can unblacklist it and...
No, no don't trust them.
If you don't see one of these 3 Carriers, you are dealing with a scammer so, be extra-careful
about it.
That was all.
