Won't work if it's blacklisted. All gsm carriers in the u.s share blacklists now.

Here is the member list. Also these blacklists will soon apply to resellers. I had a rep from at&t and t-mobile confirm that.

Soon blacklisted phones will be paperweights.

This confirms exactly what I was saying. I know is coming, but it's not here yet. So for the time being the op can use the phone on prepay. For how long who knows.
To the guy above me. Please delete your comment. You can't discuss our recommend illegal activity on xda. That kind of thing can get xda in trouble and get this thread locked quickly.

I called simplemobile and they said that soon they'll be checking phones against the black list. They'll do it on activation of service. They'll be doing it within 6 months. So enjoy it while it lasts.

Sure....I called too and they said as compensation if your phone ends up blocked they'll give you a new note 4 in place of it.
By the way my point still stands, for this minute he can use it on prepaid. Oh and based on what you just said
"They'll do it on activation of service."
If is activated now he'll be good when they make the switch. I'm not sure where you're trying to go with the besides start a fight you're losing and looking stupid doing at the same time.
And for the record I have at mobile account with an active note I was just trying to help the OP my start a fight not sure why you even jumped in

Don't know. But it won't be an option for long. That is why I chimed in. We all knew it wouldn't last. For now yes it'll work. But after they enforce the black list who knows.
