Hi guys,
like topic says, i bought a M600i, but turns out i cant make or recieve calls and cant send or recieve SMS.
The weird thing is i CAN access the "3" homepage. (phone is locked to "3")
Got bars and GPRS and 3g coverage, but not able to dial out.
Any ideas?

Sounds like it is blocked by the networks.

Only locked to "3", but if it's stolen, and blocked, can i still surf the net on it?
Also, it's blocked from all networks except the "3" home network.

Some networks block in different ways. I have received a phone that turned out to be blocked and had the same symptoms that you have. The best thing todo is to contact the seller. They most likely sold the phone and then reported it stolen to get the insurance. If you dont get any joy from them then it is possible to contact the police as technically they have commited insurance fraud. The could also have nicked the phone to sell.
