The robber (and/or his customers), are very stupid since those phones will never activate.
…the iphones at least.
Don’t forget there is a large market outside of Canada where the blacklist has no effect.
No. Apple can lock them so they will never pass the activation. Not talking about an IMEI blacklist but Apple disabling the devices.
OK well then they’ll be good for parts LOL……they need to get something for all their efforts lol
They are all LOCKED to Rogers. They wont be of any use anywhere.
