I bought an blacklisted iPhone 13 without checking if it’s blacklisted. I tried to contact the seller, but it seems they used a prepaid SIM card, and I can’t locate them. The phone is a US model, although I’m in Europe. Currently, I don’t face any restrictions (it works with my iCloud account, mobile network, etc.). What can I expect?
If it works now, keep using it until it doesn’t. Not all countries talk to one another about blacklisted IMEIs and some take a long time to update. Be ready to buy a new phone. Keep this one as a music player.
