Re: Stolen N900, IMEI number
 

in my country you can block any phone as long as you not only have the IMEI, but also the prove that its actualy your phone (think receipts, boxes, etc.)
i don't know all the details but as far as i understand it, every phone when inserting an SIM card it not only registers the simcard but also the IMEI to the network. (althoug not sure, i have heard stories about registering IMEI number to network even without SIM card. supposedly thats why you can still make emergency calls even without sim)
anyway as for as i remember it being explaing to me by local police officer many years ago.
the IMEI block has noting to do with your phone but will put the IMEI number on a black list used by all opperators (at least in your country) maybe you guys can check you local police station for the options in you country?

of course they will still beable to sale it on ebay to fare away place or just don't care about cell network but might be worth a shot.

about you all posting your IMEI number, anyone really can use them to do something? what if some prangsters post IMEI's of others? (wouldn't surpice me if someone was posting elopp's IMEI. ;)

Re: Stolen N900, IMEI number
 

No gays around my place, and I'm thankful for that...

I can't win anything from posting a number which does not belong to me, but posting receipt and boxing won't help.

I've been trying to lock it by the IMEI, can't find receipt but have full box.
