Guest Gecko Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Hi, someone stole my SPV. :) Is there a way to make it unusable so it will be worthless to whoever stole it? Thanks
Guest PT-1 Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Give your Service Provider a Ring an tell them your EMEI Number (Maybe on the Box of your Phone). They can Blacklist it on all UK Networks ! Works fine, I nearly bought one of these .... Cheers PT-1
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 They should have a record of you IMEI number anyway, hopefully your provider can block the phone the same way they can here in the UK. Sounds like another dodgy phone for ebay :)
Guest superflysi Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 E100's are going for ridiculous money ..... had a quick look while I was looking for acessories . Think was going for about £380 Brand New , Unlocked wetc etc
Guest Gecko Posted September 5, 2003 Report Posted September 5, 2003 Thanks for the info. With the EMEI it will block the phone completely even if they tweak the hardware and all?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted September 5, 2003 Report Posted September 5, 2003 Yep when the phone get's blocked it stops the phone being used on the network. The only way to change that is by re-writing the IMEI number which in the UK carries a 5 year jail term. I don't know if the same penilties apply in the Philippines. Have you spoken to your network operator?
Guest Gecko Posted September 5, 2003 Report Posted September 5, 2003 Ok that should be helpful to the thief he he he he. He gets to use the phone in prison :) I've spoken with the carrier and have also reported it to the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) the regulatory board. Here in the Philippines, they're the ones that do the blocking. Thanks for all the help guys. I miss my phone though ;)
