HELP. My dads iphone 3gs is blacklisted?

I gave my dads ancient 3gs (that hes oddly in love with) to my idiot friend who claimed would unlock and jailbreak it for me for free. I gave it to him and I have no idea what he did but the Iphone 3gs came back blacklisted. We never reported it stolen or anything?

Can I call apple and tell them, with any proof that they want, that this iphone belongs to my father and to take it out of the blacklist? Because it honestly is ours?

Or is there some sort of way that I can get though into the phone to use again? Like some sort of software or a trick of some sort?

The same idiot friend is telling me that I can put it into DFU mode and restore the iphone from itunes and it should work....?

Please help :(

    Did you tell your dad that you gave the phone to your friend?

    It has nothing to do with Apple, its the carrier. You can verify it, this talks about it here http://www.justtext.com/messageboards/201401270953... I find it hard to believe if it was yours, he is probably lieing is my guess.
