    Hi folks,

    My 4S has stopped making or receiving calls, Vodafone not at all helpful, as I bought the phone second hand and its out of warranty. Able to send texts and use data, when Vodafone called me back on the number, the phone rang, but not to any other caller since. Anyone point me in the right direction please.

    Cheers.

    I think the reason is that the phone is blacklisted, the reasons could be was reported lost/stolen and claimed in the insurance or was bought on contact and they stopped paying the bill and carrier blocked it. If you give the carrier the IMEI number they should let you know if it's blacklisted. Only the original can get it removed from the list.

    Thanks for your reply. If it was blacklsted, would you still see a full signal on the phone & be able to send/receive messages ?

    From reading on here, yes that's how it goes, in a while all will stop working.


    EDITL where did you buy the phone and how much you paid for it? You should look into getting a refund.

    Thanks, appreciate your help.
    Can you recommend any site to check the IMEI for black listing, as Vodafone wont give out that info for data protection reasons.

    I didn't think that should be a data protection, you only want to know if blacklisted, you are not asking them for details of the owner, you could try the Vodafone section on Talk To.. in Boards.

    No idea of websites to check if blacklisted others here might be able to help.

    Nope, not at all certain its stolen, was pretty sure it was sound when I bought it, as the seller was recommended to me and the phone worked fine. Gonna try the link posted by guil, hoping it may be a fault that can be fixed. If not, tough lesson learned.
