Iphone from ebay came blocked by the carrier
I bought an iphone with the IMEI: 351855180015507 on ebay and brought it to Brazil, in the ad it was being sold as unlocked, but when it arrived for me it was blocked by you, can you help me? I paid a lot for my cell phone and I can't fully use it

If the phone was sold as unlocked file a claim with ebay and if you used PayPal file a claim with them.

Well... The solution is, you don't meet the requirements and there is no way to verify the device does either. That means, it will not be SIM unlocked by T-Mobile.

That has nothing to do with the SIM Unlock Policy requirements and needing to be a current T-Mobile USA customer. A clean IMEI just means the device isn't blacklisted.

If you are not the original owner. How are you sure the device meets all of the SIM Unlock Policy requirements? Are you a T-Mobile USA customer?
yes it meets all the requirements but I am not the original owner, what step should I take to resolve this?
You.must be a current T-Mobile USA customer and meet all of the SIM Unlock Policy requirements.

You are not the original owner of the device. That might complicate things even more. You might want to reach out to the seller and ask them to request the SIM Unlock, if they are the original owner of the device or return it because it was not as advertised.
