FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Everything you need to know about the UNLOCK BLACKLISTED experience.
What is UNLOCK BLACKLISTED?
UNLOCK BLACKLISTED is a free, independent tool that helps you work out why a phone is locked, whether that is a carrier lock, an IMEI blacklist entry, an unpaid finance plan or an activation lock, and points you to the official party who can resolve it.
What information do I need?
The brand and model, the network the phone is or was on, and ideally the IMEI. You can display the IMEI by dialling *#06# or by opening Settings and then About.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. The check is a few plain questions and the result is written in everyday language.
Which phones are supported?
Current and recent smartphones, including the iPhone 17 and iPhone Air range, the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, the Google Pixel 10 series, and models from Xiaomi, Honor, OnePlus, Oppo, vivo, Motorola, Nothing and others.
Can UNLOCK BLACKLISTED unlock my phone?
No, and it never claims to. Only the party that holds the lock can lift it: the carrier, the finance company, or the account holder through Apple or Google account recovery. UNLOCK BLACKLISTED explains which one applies to your situation.
Is my device information secure?
The check runs in your browser and asks only for what it needs. Never enter passwords or account credentials, because no legitimate service will ask for them.
