It worked!!!
My iphone 12 was EMEI banned, so i was no longer able to use snapchat. Today i bought a new, unlocked iphone 13 and was able to create a new snapchat account. Devin, if you are reading this, i have a couple of questions to ask at the end of this post.

Here is what i did. First, i created a new Gmail account to use for creating the snapchat account. Secondly, i went and bought a cheap pre-paid mobile sim card. Thirdly, i used the same Apple iCloud account i always used.
I booted up the iPhone 13 and set it up WITHOUT doing the icloud backup. I skipped the backup option and only logged in with my iCloud account. Next, i set up the smurf pre paid sim card. I did this instead of using my main sim card in case if snapchat recognised it and EMEI banned me again. And I was off to the races.

I redownloaded snapchat, and successfully created a new account using only the new Gmail account i created. Now here are two questions i have left. Will it be safe for me to take out the smurf sim card and put my main one in? Secondly, i have connected the iphone 13 to my wifi at home. Will the snapchat app put a flag in just for doing that?

Thank you all so much for the help, I am now back on the grid and able to talk to my group of mates again!

Any comments or questions anyone would like to share?
