Locked imei…

Last week my brother told me he was unable to use his phone. He said the phone is saying no sim. I called Tmobile and they said the illegal team locked the sim and I would have to write them. I been a customer with Tmobile almost 9 years. I asked if it was a number or email I can contact. She said no I had to write Tmobile. I’m not understanding why the phone is locked anyway.

    Do you mean, blacklisted?  There is no illegal team at T-Mobile   What team are you referring to? 

    If it is an Android device.  Are you sure it was permanently SIM unlocked and not just a temporary SIM unlock?

      That’s what the representative said. I asked her if she meant legal and she said no illegal team. And they were the ones who locked it.

    Contact Tmobile support using messenger on one of their social media platforms . Usually a phone is remotely locked if it's reported lost or stolen or the account is in bsd standing.
