if its blocked itll be pretty useless in the UK and i doubt any shop would accept it. it would be most likely sold overseas

He already knows the IMEI, as it is written on the device itself, next to the SIM slot
Rather, it would be good to know, as for potential buyer to check against if some one is trying to sell you a too-cheap-seeming device...

@juice yes, valid point. But it is not wise to publish your imei, for piracy issues etc - hopefully he gets the device back.
If imei is cloned, then he might end up with a banned device

With a bit of effort you could circumvent any security on the device.
the IMEI number is in the police database so if you feel compelled to clone it, someone is going to be knocking on your door pretty sharpish

Might be an idea to say what colour it was and maybe any marks or dents you can think of.

All times are GMT. The time now is 02:04.
I just wanted to let you all know that unforunately i had my phone (N9)stolen on sunday at nottinghill carnival (london).
I tried the track and protect service, but it keeps telling me that i have no credit even though there is and the company incharge hasnt responded. I basically written it off at this point
Based on the advise of the police and the network in question, the phone has been blocked. I have also been informed that if someone tries to unblock it, the police will get involved.
I guess i am writing this as a word of warning if you happen to walk into a phone shop around london and see one, be careful or not.
I can provide IMEI number here or in pm if requested
regards,
