I bought a lg g3 d851 on ebay and it suppose to have a clean imei...when i run it throught swappa it says not blacklisted....but financed...my question is would it still work on at&t network or be able to warrenty returned to lg?
I would be reluctant to chance it.
What is the owner stops making payments on the phone to TMo? Could TMo not blacklist it eventually as unpaid/unreturned or "stolen" equipment?

Hello, I recently purchased a z1c off Swappa, and a recent imei check came back with the phone being financed. Swappa doesn't allow the sale of phones with bad imeis so I'm sure it was clean when it was sold to me. I also sold my nexus 4 that I bought from Google, and the buyer informed me that the imei has the same issue. I called T-mobile's customer service and they told me that the imei was clean. Is there something wrong with T-mobile's network where they accidentally flag phones as financed? Both the phones were definitely purchased unlocked, as the z1c is only available stateside via Sony, and there is no way that the nexus 4 I sold could be financed since I bought it straight from Google. Any thoughts?
Anyone know what that means when doing an esn check, the results show the device as LG-H811LB tmobile_sample. Person obtatianed it via some lg partner purchase program.
When checking on tmobile site results come back as unrecognized.
Will this phone work as normal? Since its not recognized by tmobole, can it still be sim unlocked via app?
I believe LG has a provider program where employees can purchase a LG phone for $250. A great deal, especially when said employees can then turn around and sell it for $200+ profit. There was a thread here about it. I believe these are purchased outright and should not be blacklisted for payment plan non-payment.
Apparently those phones are not officially registered in T-Mob's system. Not sure how that will affect SIM unlock, there are also a few threads about people not being able to easily SIM unlock permanently through T-Mobile to begin with. There were some reports that 'sunderwear' unlock does work, albeit for $$$.
CAN YOU FIX BLACKLISTED IMEI? I was looking for in so on blacklisted devices and how to use on different networks
is the imei marked as blocked or lost/stolen
I have this same exact question. I have one but it was blacklisted due to non-payment. T Mobile isn't working with me with paying it off. Its unlocked and working on att now but my account was canceled last week. I'm so worried that I'm going to get 2 months down the road and its going to stop working. Does anyone have experience or know if this will happen?
I have one also i bought it for $500 and the phone was put on hold because previous owner did not pay it.

Have u tried it on att
From what I understand, if a phone's imei is blacklisted on a US carrier, it will not work on any of the other US carriers.
Bad Imei

same issue but with T-mobile I need some help if any of you have the solution.
Almost 2 years ago if your phone blacklisted on T-Mobile it will work on AT&T and other carriers, now they have something like network agreement or shared database, so if th ephone get blacklisted on T-Mobile it will go bad on all within few weeks/days/months.
Now the other thing which is fixing/repairing imei on ebay it's kinda crazy because they use public certificates, which means the same imei shared/used on 100 + phone so when it get stolen/blacklisted you need to buy the service again.
the imei repair starts at $25.00 up to $99.00 depends on model and who doing and they willing to use private cert of public one.
you can use imeidata.net to check your imei blacklisted on which company and clear on which one, because swappa and other sites doesn't give you details about it.
at last there is other solutions without going through all the above and they cost less than repairing your imei such us unbarred & imei cleaning
otherwise if you still wanna repair it or check i could help with providing cheap solutions.
hello guys if you have tmobile samsung galaxy s6 edge or galaxy s6 and phone imei is blocked i will buy and give you top dollars cash today hit me up please

Hi can you fix, OnePlus 7 pro TMobile blocked imei
Wow this has been the worst part.
My bootlooping H815 was replaced by LG with no hassle. Bought it on Swappa, already bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. When I contacted LG for the bootloader issue, there was no hassle getting it inducted. They claim they replaced the motherboard, but the entire device is new. I requested the H811 to avoid the bootloader lock issue that is associated with the AT&T variant H810. All pieces of the replacement device are new, with H811 everywhere, so this is not just my repaired phone.
Now the hard part has been getting the carrier unlock going. Since I have never been a TMo customer, I had to get a burner SIM to get the new divice's IMEI "regestered" on their system, associated with my account. It was $25 to get that SIM. They say it will be a few days for the "process" to take its course. The unlock app is saying failed, but I'm going to be patient.
Does anyone who has carrier unlocked a TMo device have any insight on this process? Does my plan have to be data enabled? Does the 2-3 days sound right?
I have a Sprint ThinQ V8 that is no longer active after receiving a new phone from T-Mobile (a few months back). T-Mobile ported the phone number and deactivated the LG V8 remotely.
How can I get my LG SIM/carrier unlocked or should it already be unlocked?
Thanks

So, never did what you're describing. You had a G8 on t-mo network, you got a new phone from them, they ported the number to the new phone (why didn't you just take the sim out of the old one and put it in the new one?).
anyway, maybe when you say 'ported the number' yer basically saying on t-mo's website they now show the new phone instead of the old one. That's not really 'porting the number', that's just changing on their site which phone you have, and you put the old sim in the new phone?
Completely unsure what you mean 'deactivated the LG G8 remotely'? What? Is this a phone that you've completely paid for? If so, they have zero business doing anything with that phone other than carrier unlocking it.
you might want to explain a little more about what's going on.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the confusion, I'm a newbie at understanding how everything works. The LG V8 ThinQ phone was obtained from Sprint and was on Sprints network until T-Mobile called offering a new Nord N200. When I got the Nord N200, I called T-Mobile customer service and they transferred the number from the LG to the Nord by guiding me on codes to enter. The LG has been payed off for awhile. Is there a way I can check to see if the LG is now carrier unlocked? Thanks in advance.

Oh, that explains it. Yes a simple way to check if it's unlocked is put a sim in it. If it connects to that carrier, you can make calls etc, then it's been unlocked. If it's not, call Sprint, I think they are legally bound to unlock it if it's paid off.
