Phone blacklisted without me requesting it


I had a SIM only contract and upgraded from the Samsung S7 that I was using.  All was well.  About 2 months later I had the new phone stolen. I reported it to Google who blocked & blacklisted that phone.  However when I reinstalled the SIM in the old S& I discovered that it too had been blacklisted, even though never stolen or reported stolen.

I understand that only ID Mobile can unblack list this.  How can I action that process?

Perhaps Google knew about your Samsung Galaxy S7 device, and blocked it too when you reported your new phone as being stolen, @Andrew P Muir.

What Android devices are shown in your Google account?

 

Thanks. I have now tried that - device is recognised by Google but I’m still getting the MM “Phone not allowed” message.

How do I make contact with ID Mobile to get them to unblock the phone?  Go into PCWorld?

You can try a Currys store, or use their online Live Chat service, @Andrew P Muir.

The chatbot works 24/7, and the advisers work until 6pm at weekends.

Hi @Andrew P Muir 

 

Do you still require assistance with this?

 

It’s worth noting that a Currys store would not be able to assist with this.

 

Please let us know if you still require assistance so we can get in touch.
