Hi All,
(NOTE: The iPhone shown in this clip is IMEI Blocked according to Australian AMTA website!! - It's IMEI Blocked in Australia by ALL Networks and my trick still managed to get it to Work!! - I'm Not talking about unlock or anything else, I'M Talking about IMEI unBlock!!)
I have figured out a Very SIMPLE Solution to UNBLOCK an IMEI Blocked iPhone 3G, 3GS and maybe 4!!!!!!
I am using an (IMEI BLOCKED) iPhone right NOW and it's working Great :)
A lady gave me an IMEI Blocked iPhone 3G and asked if there was something I could do with it.
(Now it Wasn't Stolen!! She lost it when she was moving houses and called her Insurance and made a claim, $250 later for access/claim fees, Insurance gave her a refurbished one) - Almost a year later she found it in a box in the garage :), she called Insurance company and they informed her she would have to pay the cost of the replacement iPhone if they were to lift the IMEI Block, so of course she said go to hell!!).
Anyrate, This trick seems to only work as long as reception does not drop out!
I tried this on the iPhone 3G, but it should also work on the iPhone 3GS and maybe even the iPhone 4.
There wasn't really much to it..
All I did is place an active sim card from another working iPhone into the IMEI Blocked iPhone and it worked :)
As soon as the Blocked iPhone looses reception, the Block gets activated again!
I made a call which lasted over an hour and sent text messages and it worked fine.
I had the phone on for a few days and it worked fine :)
Again, as long as the iPhone doesn't drop out at anytime the UnBlock will continue to work.
As soon as you loose reception, from Drop-out, restarting iPhone or clicking airplane mode, it picks up the Block again.
To fix it again, just take out the sim and put it in another iPhone that is working fine and is Turned ON, it might even work if you put the sim in another smartphone, and once the reception is picked up in the other phone, remove the sim card while the phone is still ON and place it straight back into the Blocked iPhone and it will work again right away as shown in the Video!
This is Not a FIX, it just seems like a Temporarily Solution for a Blocked IMEI iPhone which might lead someone to figure out a way to unblock it Permanently.
I have done my best to film the results by myself on a continuing basis, don't mind the camera work :)
Not sure if this will do anything if you happen to have a IMEI Blocked iPhone, I just thought I would share my Experience with everyone.
Why not leave a comment of how you went?

would this work for U.S phones that are blocked?

@arien123456 Not sure as I haven't tested it outside of Australia, but I don't see why it wouldn't work? Give it a try and let us know.

Hi mate, thanks for this video, I am amazed that it works. I have found out that YOU DONT NEED your "donor" phone to be another iPhone. I have an old Samsung SGH D500 and it worked without a problem :) Just as long as the iphone is on, it will work.
I would love to know how and why it works though. Thanks again :)

@intheshitter You're welcome :) Yeah, you can try another smartphone instead of an iPhone and it should work as well!! I think it might be something with the way it picks up 3G? Glad it works at least :)

@notoriousjattz I'm very glad it worked for you also. If you are with Telstra you probably use the phone in a tunnel and would still not drop out :) Better my my temp solution than nothing I say!
