If the phone is blacklisted, that suggests that a previous owner reported it as stolen.


You say that you got this phone in a small shop (suggesting that it is a second-hand phone), and that this shop is now closed. That means that you have a “brick” that will never receive cellular service from any carrier who honors the blacklist.
