Blacklisted T-mobile iPhone options?

[noobinator]

Just wanted to add that I was sold an old iPhone on CL a few months back and I had been using it on AT&T. (was told it was unlocked)

I recently switched to T-Mobile and noticed I got no service on this phone when I put in the T-Mobile sim despite my newer iPhone getting a strong signal. After contacting T-Mobile they told me the phone was blacklisted due to non-payment.

So it works on AT&T but not T-Mobile.

Most people don't agree that failing to pay off a credit balance is the moral equivalent of stealing. If they did, we would still have debtors prisons in this country. Our founding fathers saw fit to rid our country of the morally repugnant debtors prisons.

By your "morality", we should get rid of the banktruptcy system and just throw those people in jail if they can't pay their bills.

Uh, yes it is. If you buy a phone with a payment plan, keep the phone but stop paying, you stole the phone.

Nope, wrongo! Not in the US anyhow. In some god-forsaken place governed by Sharia law maybe it would be, but not in the good old US of A! Hell, under Sharia law they would probably chop your hand off if you were late to pay, effed up man.

You have some really messed up morals if you think it's fine to take something and not pay for it.
