    No, they are not. Blacklists are per carrier, at least when dealing with American primary carriers, and not MVNOs.

        Except I have used unlocked IMEI blacklisted devices on different carriers, so if one exists in theory, it doesn’t appear to be there in practice.

            I’m not admitting to any crime. There are other ways to come into possession of blacklisted IMEI devices, and other ways for them to become blacklisted that don’t involve either of those scenarios.

            Why don’t you go pull up all those FCC fines leveied on carriers for activating blacklisted phones.
