Can you stop an iPhone being blocked?

Hi guys,

My sister purchased a phone from her ex boyfriend's friend. (Yes jermery kyle situation here) and now her and her ex have had a fight, his friend is threatening to have the phone blocked.

She actually swapped her phone plus money for his iPhone she has all messages of prove but is there anyway to take steps now to stop it happening ?

I mean they are both just going to block each other at this rate as if he blocks hers shes going to block his.....

If Apple still have the phone registered to ex BF's friend then yes, it could be blocked.
Is the phone locked to a network?

If the phone is registered to him through a contract, then I'm afraid he can get it blocked.

Take a look at this site https://www.immobilise.com/how-to-register-your-mobile-phone.html

I've never used it but from what I can gather, and guess, it seems that maybe if you register here you can prevent the ex's mate blocking it as it will be registered to you.

But again, if it is his through a currently running contract he can just phone is provider and say it got stolen.
