- gambiting 6y agoWhich doesn't really matter because carriers don't share those blacklists internationally - so stolen devices just end up in another country. Also, I believe this was specifically about MacBooks?
- Mandatum 6y agoThey don't even block them regionally. Across 2 countries I've tested the "shared blacklist" and there's ALWAYS one ISP who doesn't bother implementing the sync. There's also times when accidental IMEI's are added to the list - or duplicate IMEI's are issued for the same device (common with cheap phones), I can't imagine going through the unblocking process internationally.
