Bookmark topic
I got the phone for £85, and the screen for £76. Ouch indeed!!
I'm working out what to do with it - the person who I got it off genuinely didn't realise it was blocked, and is going to try to get it unblocked (if possible). I may try to get another P9 with a broken screen and put the good screen into that, not sure yet!

@sammy_boy - Here in my place, the only solution re: your problem is to have the IMEI changed - last recourse I suppose
Instead of selling the item to another guy who will eventually 'carry' the problem is a no-no here
'might as well fix the problem on your own rather than passing it to another person - might just result to a 'bad' karma
Now, what's the latest plan, have you seen a P9 replacement screen

@jojo: It now has a new screen:
I'm now debating whether to sell the phone as it is now, or keep the new screen to put in another broken P900 and sell the rest for spares, or what!! I don't think I'll change the IMEI, I haven't got a data cable for this phone or anything nor the skills in the software department
One or two people here on esato have shown an interest in it too, despite it's condition
I may hang fire for a little while, as I say, there's a tiny chance the guy who sold it to me may be able to get Orange to reverse the block, as I think he sold it in good spirit and sounds quite guilty about the whole scenario!

@orangeman - I phone up Orange, and they said that the original owner (i.e. the person that originally 'blacklisted' the phone, could ring Orange up, and get this lifted - although this depended on why the phone was blacklisted in the first place. If it was stolen, then I guess there'd be no chance!
Would that sound about right to you, or is it a load of rubbish?
I'm not sure if the lady I spoke to thought that I'd stolen it or something!

@sammy_boy - It will now all depend on your disposition mate
Choose what is just right, I guess in a way you've been investing some money with those fones that you have, don't be like me mate, wherein I've 'wasted (unintentionally without knowing it due to the habit) around US$ 1K in changing fones almost on a weekly basis - all of which are 2nd hand ones
If it will take some time for you to finalize decision - then come hell or high waters, then wait mate
Don't depend your actions for the spur of the moment, also, by the way other members cajoling/whining/forcing you to send your unit - ASAP to them
Good luck

I think you could be right @jojo - I have been spending a bit of money recently on phones - second (or even third!) hand ones! It's been a hobby of mine recently to fix up phones and sell them - but I've found myself keeping quite a few of them!!
I'm going to scale back some of my buying, and sell some of the phones I've acquired (and fixed!)

Could someone answer a query I have - what does the P900 say when it's blocked? For example, the T610 comes up with 'invalid mobile' where the network provider should be, and Nokias say 'sim card registration failed'. This P900 simply says 'searching'.
Does this point more to a signal fault rather than the phone being blocked?
Trying to make a call and the phone eventually makes the three ascending beeps to say it cannot make the call.
Help please!

'searching' is not a known error msg for P900 (according to my system)
invalid mobile though, is
