That message means your phone was reported lost or stolen and has been blacklisted. It will not work on any carrier until removed from the blacklist and only whoever put the phone on the blacklist can remove it from the blacklist.

Checked with who?
Becasue despite your check, the device is saying it’s blocked, which is the message given when blacklisted

1. Error
2. Preowned phone
3. Vindictive EX.
Again, how did you “check”?

Got it from where? Just because you bought it brand new does not mean it wasn’t stolen, especially if you bought online from a non trusted source. You may have been ripped off.

@Josemba
If you bought a brand new phone from Walmart, why would you check it on a website to see if it were blacklisted?
The logical first step if my phone stopped working would be to contact ATT, thinking they did something.
You keep half answering questions. What’s up with that?
