I've spoken to one of the bods that I contract with and as far as he is aware, once a phone has been barred, it is blacklisted from all european networks and there is no easy way to get it removed from the list if at all. If you are thinking of trying to get it unbarred, I'd talk straight to the provider you use and see what they say. I'd say you are not going to be so lucky :(

 

Basically the bar is applied with the IMEI number, which is like an IP address for your phone. It identifies your phone uniquely and gives the details like model and make and also a unique number. They bar this and unless you change it it wont work again. Changing it is highly illegal from what I understand.

 

The network will also not give you any details of why the phone was barred. They dont know who the hell you are, so wont give you any info. They probably wont even be able to tell you its barred tbh, call centres probably dont have access to that information.

Ok Paul. nowhere in my correspondence have I blamed you, I do not blame you at all, and I dont understand why you say its getting messy?. But the situation is this:- If the phone was blocked before I sold it then it is my fault and it is my responsibility to sort it out, but if the phone was blocked after I sold it and through no fault or action of mine then I would not be responsible. Its that which I am trying to find out. All correspondence between us is being logged and copied to eBay and Paypal so they can see I am being as helpfull and quick as possible. You can commit this to a full despute with Paypal if wish but it will just take even longer. So please be patient.

Tony.

 

 

 

this cant be right - if you sell a stolen phone then its ok if its working when you sell it !!

he bought the phone off his stepson, who had bought it off a friend, who had then claimed he had lost it and was supplied with a new one off vodafone after he had sold it (he told me)

 

he would like me to return the phone so he can send it back to vodafone ( yeah rrrrright )

 

i suppose this could happen to anyone at anytime after they have bought a phone off ebay if the original owner cliams for another phone or defaults on their contract

 

 

a lesson learnt :headhurt:

Ask him what address at Vodafone and you'll happily send it there for him. ;)
