Another reason for blacklisting is when an iPad with a carrier plan has outstanding contract bills.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that if you have a blacklisted iPad, it may also have an activation lock, which stops anyone from activating the device without the original owner&#8217;s Apple ID and password.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Happens with a Blacklisted Apple iPad?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your iPad is blacklisted by your carrier, it won&#8217;t be able to connect to any cellular networks nearby.

When the original owner reports a lost or stolen iPad, the network will blacklist it. Carriers blacklist not only stolen items but also those with outstanding bills. An Apple iPad under a contract plan with an unpaid account can be put on blacklist by the carrier.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;What to do with a blacklisted Apple iPad?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1681987117327{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]Do you have a blacklisted Wi-Fi + Cellular model iPad? Then it means you are only allowed to browse the internet via Wi-Fi instead of cellular data. Sending or receiving messages, as well as making phone calls are also impossible.<\/p>\n<p>You can still use the iPad for offline activities like playing mobile games or watching videos. You always have the option to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankmycell.com\/blog\/sell-a-blacklisted-ipad\">sell your blacklisted iPad<\/a> to highly-rated buyback stores on BankMyCell, and get paid via check, PayPal, or Direct Deposit.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Is my iPad blacklisted?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1681987135298{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]You may use checkers online to see if your iPad is on the blacklist. Some may charge you, but there are also free ones like IMEI 24 and IMEI Pro. These checkers allow you to verify the blacklist status of your device by inputting your iPad&#8217;s IMEI number.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Can a blacklisted Apple iPad be unblocked?&#8221;][vc_column_text]A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankmycell.com\/blog\/how-to-unblacklist-an-ipad\">blacklisted iPad mini and other generations can be unblocked<\/a> depending on the reason for the blacklisting. The owner can contact the carrier to resolve the issue if the device has been reported stolen or lost by mistake.<\/p>\n<p>If it was blacklisted because of unpaid bills, clearing the debt will unlock or unblacklist the iPad. Some third-party businesses may offer unblacklisting an iPad, but they&#8217;re most likely illegal.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Can I sell an Apple iPad on blacklist status?&#8221;][vc_column_text]Yes, you can definitely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankmycell.com\/blog\/sell-a-blacklisted-ipad\">sell an iPad that&#8217;s on blacklist<\/a>.
