@Kbetts, this is the official Canadian blacklist site.  Confirm the IMEI here and if it is on the list in error, contact Koodo to have them undo it.  I know of a friend who had a Koodo sourced phone that was blacklisted in error.  She was the original purchaser.  It took a lot of effort but everything was sorted out in the end several months later.  She was offered a discounted phone to use in the mean time.  You need to work with the source carrier brand.

You could try contacting the company who made the phone.

I doubt pm would or could place your phone accedently place your phone on the blacklist. 

Not sure what, if any  info   mods have re blacklisted phones.

Edit could be worth contacting mods with the imei or even telus see if you can get more info.

@Kbetts, if you were not the original purchaser of this phone it is quite likely the phone IMEI was placed on the blacklist due to some sort of account issue associated with the initial purchase.  It can be due to non payment or the scam insurance claim by the purchaser.

I got it second hand but it worked for a long time with koodo then as soon as I sign up for public mobile it does this

When/where did you buy the phone? Do you have proof of purchase of the phone?
