How to unlock a blacklisted phone
Blacklisted IMEI FIXED IN MINUTES!!!
to people who have been screwed over by
buying a phone with a bad IMEI um if
you're anything like me four months ago
I bought a Galaxy Note 4 from a pawn
shop and I was trying to have my number
transferred over to it via customer
service on the phone and they told me
that the phone had a bad IMEI number
so I got kind of irritated got kind of
irritable with the customer service
person wound up spending three hours on
the phone with four different people and
they all told me that there was
absolutely nothing that could be done
about this the phone was blacklisted
because whoever owned it last had a
pending payment that they never came
through with which means they didn't pay
their phone and therefore didn't pay for
part of the phone and I was told it was
blacklisted could never be used again
well what I'm going to tell you today is
the same story but where everything goes
good for me so four months later here we
are I purchased this Samsung Galaxy s5
for $150 at the pawn shop which if
you're paying attention to phone prices
right now you'll know that that is an
incredibly good deal this was on
t-mobile as well as was the note back
then and I called metro pcs which is my
current carrier and they told me the
same thing the phone was blacklisted and
therefore they could not switch my
number over the phone so naturally what
first sets in my mind is god damn it I
just blew another 150 dollars on
something that someone didn't pay for so
I called t-mobile this time original
carrier for the phone and I explained to
them essentially in a very stupid way I
guess you could say I was acting naive
I'll summarize the call for you hi there
my name is Steve and I bought this
t-mobile phone which I intended to use
for metro pcs
but I bought it from a pawn shop and the
people from metro pcs told me that the
IMEI was blacklisted did I do something
wrong or was this phone stolen no no you
haven't done anything wrong there's a
good chance that whoever sold it to the
pawn shop had either sold it before
paying it off oh my gosh that's terrible
is there any way I can contact the
original owner so I
possibly give it back to them well we
can't give you that information sir but
what we can do is look up the IMEI to
find out exactly why it's blacklisted
well that sounds great I hope that we'll
be able to hit help the situation out
okay sir just give me one minute
all righty sir I'm sorry to put you on
hold but I actually did just unblock
that blacklisted IMEI number the phone
is now good to use and you're not going
to have to worry about it being blocked
again because we'll only block at one
time geez thanks I really appreciate
that I'm really glad that I didn't wind
up wasting 150 dollars is there anything
else I can help you with today sir no
that's fine thank you okay have a great
day thank you you too and now I have a
fully functional Samsung Galaxy s5 on
MetroPCS I'm sure if you have the phone
unlock you can get to work on any
carrier now I can't guarantee that
whoever you talk to on customer service
is going to do the same for you but what
I am saying is that when I called and
acted like I had no idea what was going
on I got the galaxy s5 IMEI unblock
listed which according to most forms and
threads on the Internet is literally
something that's impossible to do so if
you find yourself having purchased a
phone with a blacklisted IMEI don't lose
hope just get on that customer service
and try your hardest to I guess win them
over show them that you didn't steal the
phone and that you're not a fraud or
anything like that but thanks for taking
the time to watch I'm sorry that I
dragged on for so long real quick side
note I have another YouTube channel
where I do educational I host an
educational show I usually do people of
history animals topics that I find
interesting in general it is just a
little baby channel of 59 subscribers
right now you can help me get to 60 so
if you watch this I'd appreciate it if
you went into the look again I hope this
helped you out as always be good to each
other and take care
