Just after a bit of advice. A friend in work bought an XR off someone advertising on facebook marketplace. Everything was fine for a few days and then suddenly lost all network connectivity.
Turns out after checking, the IMEI has been blocked. He's asked me to take a look at it and see what I can do. Obviously the seller has reported the phone as stolen or not paid their bill and made a tidy profit at the same time!
In the past I've been able to change IMEI numbers on android phones but this was years ago. I told him I know nothing about doing this with iPhones but will take a look. This brings me here asking the question - can it be done and if so, how?
