Request for Assistance with Unlocking Blacklisted iPhone 15 Pro Max (US Version)

[Abdelmalek]

Dear US version,

I hope this message finds you well. I am a student in China, and I am reaching out for assistance with an iPhone 15 Pro Max (US version) that I purchased brand new from the market in China.

I acquired the device in a sealed, unopened box on February 18, 2025, from what I believed to be a reputable seller. Unfortunately, I have since discovered that the phone has been blacklisted, preventing me from using it on any network.

After some research, I found that the phone's IMEI has been blacklisted, likely due to issues that occurred before my purchase. I had no prior knowledge of this situation when buying the device, as I received it in its original packaging.

I kindly request your help in unlocking the phone and removing the blacklist status, as I am currently unable to use it. I fully understand the importance of your policies and am happy to provide any documentation or information that would assist in resolving this issue.

I sincerely hope for your understanding and a positive resolution to my case. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,

Hi, sorry to tell you this, but you won't be able to get that phone off the blacklist or unlocked.  You need to contact the seller and ask for a refund.  Unfortunately, I see this sort of thing happening all the time where phones were "lost" in shipment to a customer in the US and then someone overseas later wonders why they have a Verizon phone that doesn't work.
