I believe it takes 48hrs to be removed from the International stolen phone registry. You can find. Ore information at: http://www.protectyourdata.ca/

Maliha Nabil, koodo flags phone nationally. You might like to check if the IMEI is still reported as lost [b] through Koodo Here → http://koodomobile.com/en/on/switch2koodo-step-1-c.shtml If still flagged, call customer service. It does not take 48 hours. It's unlocked immediately. A battery pull out will be enough after doing so.

Not anymore.

They should now be able to unflag the handset within a matter of minutes, as customer service can now do so directly without having to submit a request to another department. Call them again and say you need your handset unflagged. Edit: when you say you called 'koodo people', do you mean customer service or the staff at the kiosk you bought it from?

i mean the customer service. when i got the sim the salesperson told me that i just have to activate the sim back again and everything will be normal. and then i did activate the sim but it kept saying no service. so the customer representative said that my phone is flagged and there is nothing they can do about it because its not a koodo phone. i told them its an unlocked phone and they are my first service providers and i don't know who else to contact. they said they contacted the apple store and everything is fine at their end and its not koodo's problem. although they are the ones who suspended my phone and reported it as lost or stolen so they should be the ones to activate it back again

Call *611 again. Choose option 6 for tech support. Ask them to unflag the handset. Flagging a handset is a simple matter of marking the imei number as lost or stolen. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether it's a koodo phone or not. While you're at it, ask if they can send a feedback form for the first agent who clearly has no idea what he/she is talking about.
