my iphone xr is blocked by sprint
I bought this cell phone in international trade, brand new
imei 1: 35 288911 266950 2
imei 2: 35 288911 214641 0
Question 2: Can I hire sprint if I am international (Chile)? Would this help anything?
Blocked as in blacklisted or SIM locked to Sprint? If it is SIM locked. You should return the device for a refund. Sprint no longer exists and you and the device don't meet T-Mobile's SIM Unlock Policy requirements.

You don't know if after contracting the T-mobile E-SIM, it would help in any way?
Thanks for your quick answer, Gracias^^
Even if the device wasn't lost or stolen, as a lot of these seem to... fall off of a truck by the truckload. It would need to be actively used on the T-Mobile USA network for a year (not roaming) to be eligible for a SIM unlock.
The XR is a 5 year old phone so my guess is the phone was reported lost or stolen and those phones end up on the Grey market in other countries.
