iPhone 7 with Bad ESN

[iMore Question]

I recently bought a iPhone 7 with bad ESN. Will I be able to use it for games or over wifi not for calls/

Yes I think so. A bad ESN just means you can't use a carrier. Do you know why was it blacklisted?

Yes, it basically will be an iPod.

You can do everything you could normally do, except for making calls, sending SMS text messages, or go online using your cellular data plan.
