Is reactivation of blocked IMEI possible if owner is able to recover stolen phone? If yes, would like to request for process/requirements and typical timeline for processing. Thank you.
As follow-up, should the thief choose to cannibalize the phone unit & sell the parts separately, would blocking IMEI also prevent use of the parts? Or IMEI blocking only works for the assembled/full phone unit?
