only europe as far as i know, and maybe australia, blacklist IMEI's. not in the US. but is bad practice to sell stolen phones there buddy. not to mention, im sure if its reported stolen, there will be some activation issues.

there is only one reason why IMEI's get blacklisted, its when someone reports it lost or stolen. so explain why the IMEI is bad. and what country are you in.

If an IMEI number gets entered into the GSMA IMEA database, the lock is global

you can try calling the carrier to see if they can help, but i doubt they will.
