I live in Canada. I saw an iPhone 6s locked to sprint which is blacklisted for 200$ (a fraction of a non blacklisted price).
Will this phone work in Canada if I carrier unlock it.
In other words, does the sprint blacklist affect it in Canada?
 
Solution
Probably won't work. The blacklist is basically stolen goods (may not be actually stolen, but something shut off due to contract breach or non-payment is the same thing to the company). If you bring something stolen to Canada from the US, it will still be stolen.

Are you willing to risk $200 to try it for the chance it may work?
