    Hi Guys,
    My brother bought a SGS2 from adverts about a month ago. Everything went well and up until Saturday the phone was working fine. Now he can no longer make phone calls or send messages.
    He rang Three and they have informed him that the iMEI number on that phone is blocked.
    As he is not the account holder on the account associated with that phone they would not give him any further information.
    Obviously the guy he got the phone off on adverts upgraded his contract so the imei of my brothers phone is linked to that contract.

    I suspect that the phone was then either reported as stolen (insurance scam maybe?) or the guy stopped paying his bill( although as far as im aware they do not block imei for non payment).

    The guy on adverts has his phone off since Saturday so he is probably in the wind.
    Any suggestions on what we can do to get the imei block removed?
    Three's call center is in India so explaining this to them is excruciating as they just stick to a script!

    Any advice or ideas would be welcome!
    Regards,
    Ian
