Dunno if this would work but couldn't you just change the IMEI with one of the programs out there, and if they require a valid IMEI just buy some 10 dollar phone and use its IMEI or something, just an idea, don't know if it would work.
>>
>>51497503
all of those programs look like adware infested shit -- i doubt they even work

its also illegal to do that, the whole point of imeis is to prevent phones from being stolen and used
>>
>>51497408
more specifically has anyone been in this situation and better does anyone have any advice or ideas on what to do next?
>>
>>51497583
Yes
>>
>>51497598
uhh....mind sharing? thats the point of this thread
>>
>>51497583
Threaten to sue. The operator is clearly abusing their power. Alternatively, see with T-Mobile if they can accept the IMEI anyway?
>>
>>51497617
you think telus is abusing their power? the point is they have done the opposite, they are at fault and have done absolutely nothing
>>
>>51497617
Another alternative, report them to the FTC. It usually works with Comcast at least.
>>
>>51497637
Yeah, abusing their power to report stolen IMEI is what I meant.
>>
>>51497640
mmm...seems like a good idea. will they get involved in telling telus to step the fuck up or is it just a threat?
>>51497654
from my situation it seems that telus' network pulls imeis from other's lists and their server doesnt refresh them for however long
>>
>>51497691
Actually, it's a fucking Canadian operator. You could try this page: https://www.ccts-cprst.ca/complaints/complaint-form
The prospects of a potentially harmful lawsuit is usually enough to scare most companies. ymmv
