So basically the phone was either stolen or reported stolen or owes money on it? That means the phone is basically worthless unless you use it as a mini tablet
what does " bad IMEI can be used for other things .. games ; music , photos & videos" mean? I read the comments and you said something about switching it to a different carrier.... but r u saying that you cant make calls and texts on them? Like it would just be a gaming phone? Just trying to make sure I understand.... good luck
