Before I start rantin, hi from a newbie. Bought a "used" K750i from a shop at the weekend. Everthing workin on it perfectly until today, can`t send/receive calls etc because the phones been blocked by network because its been reported stolen. Can`t understand why some phone shops buy phones from people knowing that they can report them stolen, then again i must be stupid enough for buying a used phone in the first place. Hopefully the shop will still be there at the weekend, cause he`s a nice w800 (brand new and boxed) so he might come round to my way off thinking and offer a swap at no extra ££££££. Rant over, as you were

welcome to Esato
thats about all you can do... take it back.
I bought my V3 from a dealer last year who also sells on ebay and a couple of months later the phone got blocked. I contacted them and they happily exchanged it for a new one but I was pretty upset when I found out it was blocked so I know how you feel.
hopefully they want to stay in business and so will do the honourable thing

Funny how this never seem to happen here in Norway.
I see topics like this over and over again, but never with a Norwegian author. I guess we are too honest to sell stolen phones or our insurances are too good.
Btw; Welcome to Esato!

Yes there is, but since I had a new phone fairly pronto I didn't rally care to follow it through.
On the other hand, I believe it is up to the police to sort out the barring of the EMEI?

I had two phones stolen in Sweden about two years ago, and both ended up in Norway, and both got blocked by my network. Shame I could not do the same with the car and the laptop, and have them blocked as well.

Hi Teash- You can hopew for the better, in that, the shop does that. . . . Two years back, I had a Moto (my Company given) nick.d off me. Since Insurance wanted a Police Report, I did that while also getting enlight'ed. This cell repair guy, The Network Exec ,Cops confirmed that a 'flash' could "fix" IMEI ! Thankfully twas a battered ol phone passed down from my boss & the Company got its claim settled from Insur.. I remember having flashed my ///T10s to T18s & the software DID have an edit option for IMEI
This message was posted from a S700

@teash - I just hope that you'll get a replacement mate.
I am just wondering how you will manage to 'detect' stolen units
It is but of a common knowledge to have some 2nd doubts when getting handsets that does not have the box that comes along with it, manuals etc. etc, mostly just the handest itself. But when you get/buy the whole package (sealed) and got it from a reputable shop and finally noticed that it's a stolen item - well, that's another - STORY !
