    Call your carrier to blacklist the IMEI. Done.

    It has always worked this way, well before the smartphone era.

    The only way to overcome is to find a country the phone works with and has carriers not part of the blacklisting networks. Doesn’t make for a very practical resale market…

    So, now that’s out of the way, what control is Google actually trying to sneak in then?
