welcome everyone we've blacklisted
iPhones here is the deal one near
blacklisted you will not be able to
activate the iPhones if you have a SIM
card inserted however if you remove the
SIM card you can see this is a
blacklisted iPhone 14 pro Max but I have
full access to this iPhone you know I've
activated the phone not a problem
so if you're willing to use your
blacklisted iPhone as an iPod where you
don't use a SIM card you can't make
phone calls you can't use the cellular
data from a SIM and you can use this
phone no problem
however if you want full access to a
blacklisted iPhone you need to buy one
which is not blacklisted in your country
so to break this down this is a US
iPhone 14 pro Max and I'm in the UK you
may be able to tell by the accent and UK
iPhones you can see show mobile data us
iPhones they use cellular for some
reason and yeah there's some terminology
differences but this iPhone I can use on
any e-sim not a problem even though it's
blacklisted and that's because the
Blacklist only applies to its original
country so if the us or US carriers
Blacklist an iPhone then I can still use
it in another country all right I can
activate my e-sim in the UK and even
though this is blacklisted in the US as
long as I don't use this phone in the US
I'm good to go
so if you have an iPhone which is
blacklisted in the UK and you use it in
the US you can activate e-sim you can
insert SIM and you're not going to have
any issues the only exception to this
rule is if the iPhone is locked to a
carrier if it's locked to one carrier
like ATT then you can't activate any Sim
you can't insert a Sim because it will
take you to the setup screen and the
device won't activate but you can always
remove the SIM card activate the device
and use it as an iPod Touch
with that being said if you'd like to
