I had a phone stolen and reported it to Verizon who blacklisted the IMEI but I have two questions.
- Will the blacklisting apply to other carriers as well? For instance, could they get service at AT&T with a Verizon blacklist?
- When pawn shops check phones for being stolen against police databases do they search based on IMEI or Serial No? When i filed the police report with LAPD I only included the IMEI because that’s all I knew at the time but since then I was able to find the device Serial No. The issue is the police report only has one Serial No field so I’m not sure which one would hit.
