In UnlockHere, we specialize in processing network unlocks. This service is, in fact, the reason why most users who trust and know the effectiveness of our services got to know us in the first place. However, we understand that while some carriers like Virgin Media don’t SIM-lock the phones they sell, blacklist reports are still something with which Virgin users struggle.
This is why we have just launched the perfect solution for this problem! Get to know UnlockHere‘s network and blacklist removal service and learn how to easily and safely unlock Virgin Mobile phones and tablets (the cellular ones) no matter if the problem is a SIM lock or an IMEI lock.
Determining if your Phone is Carrier-Locked or IMEI-Locked
If your phone seems to be not working or having connectivity issues because even if you enter a SIM card into it, the phone doesn’t get connected to the SIM’s network, then there is a high chance the handset is blacklisted. You’ll know you’re dealing with a blacklist report and not a carrier or network lock because while network-locked phones still work with their original carrier’s network, blacklisted phones can’t operate in any network at all.
This happens when the IMEI number of the mobile device is reported by the carrier, which is Virgin Media in your case, to the blacklist database. However, it doesn’t really matter if your phone is blacklisted or it’s just locked to its carrier because UnlockHere can fix it in minutes. Keep reading to learn more about how to unlock Virgin Mobile Phones with us!
How can I confirm if my Phone is Blacklisted/IMEI Locked or not?
You can tell if your phone is blacklisted using tools online that can tell you this status, like IMEI Pro. In addition, you can make use of CTIA’s stolen phone checker because as the name says, they check the status of IMEI numbers, so they can tell you if your phone is really reported in this database and why (you just need the IMEI number you want to look up).
Is a SIM Locked Virgin Mobile Phone the same as a Blacklisted one?
While some people tend to confuse both kinds of locks, the SIM network lock and the IMEI blacklist lock are not the same. When we talk about a SIM-locked phone, it’s in reference to a device that can only be used with Virgin Mobile; these phones cannot recognize different networks as normal phones would even if you get a SIM from another provider and insert it.
This lock can be eliminated with a network unlock code that eliminates the restriction on the device’s cellular bands. It doesn’t matter if the phone is locked to Virgin or another carrier like Vodafone, Sky Mobile, EE, Tesco Mobile, O2, or any other, the unlock always works the same.
On the other hand, the blacklist lock is more associated with when a phone is reported as lost or stolen. As we explained above, carriers are the ones that make the report when needed, which barriers the phone from all networks, meaning that the device loses all connectivity and cannot be used with any SIM card at all.
Is my Phone’s Manufacturer able to Remove my IMEI from the Blacklist?
Unfortunately, manufacturers (like Apple, Samsung, etc.) cannot remove IMEI locks and won’t be able to help you remove your device from the blacklist. The only ones that can do it are mobile carriers or third-party unlockers like UnlockHere.
If you’re wondering why, well it’s simply because manufacturers are not the ones who activate this kind of lock on mobile phones and anyway this problem is not associated with any malfunction or system issue. So, as manufacturers don’t have anything to do with IMEI reports, are not really able to help with anything.
Is it Legal to Unlock Virgin Mobile Phones without contacting the Carrier?
Unlocking your mobile phone with our external unlock service is completely legal and won’t even void your warranty or anything like that. What’s illegal, for example, is changing the IMEI number of the locked device or having lost or stolen property, but anyway, the unlock process itself is not dangerous or illegal at all.
Will UnlockHere change the IMEI Number of my Phone to Unblacklist it?
No, UnlockHere doesn’t change the IMEI number or modify it in anyhow, in fact, we don’t recommend doing this because it can completely damage the device. What we do is unlock your iPhone or Android phone with our internal servers and remove the IMEI report made to the blacklist database, so as you see, the whole process is remote and doesn’t require any software modifications!
