Guest aled Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 I'm thinking about buying an SPV E100 from ebay. However the seller claims that the phone is IMEI blocked. I live in Sweden and he's from UK. Will the phone be useless for me in Sweden because it's IMEI blocked? Thanks
Guest mcwarre Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 It should work at present in Sweden; however, manufacturers are attempting to join their blocked IMEI database. As the IMEI is blocked the phone is either stolen or has been reported lost. The seller is, I believe, undertaking an illegal transaction.
Guest aled Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 thanks! i think it's a good idea not to buy the phone then!
Guest nickcornaglia Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 There's usually something shady associated with a blocked IMEI. If it's not stolen, something's wrong or the seller would have looked into clearing up the problem. I'd find a better deal if I were you.
Guest BrAGoL Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 don't take risk buying a blocked phone... there's a lot of units out there... Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 Basically if the phone is blocked it has been reported as lost or stolen or there is money owed on the phones account. If a phone is blocked then it should be returned to the network as ownership normally defaults to them.
