I've got a brand new Samsung D900 that was blacklisted due to Orange mucking up my address & whatnot, so they decided they would bar my phone a week after i got it & then blacklist it, obviously the phone is useless now as it's blocked on every network & don't think it can be unlocked (can they?).
Is there a chance Orange will ask for the phone back as i was going to put it on ebay for spares instead of it just sitting here?

Havn't heard anything from Orange apart from the contract was terminated last month.

Cheers.

It can be unblocked, but it's difficult to do. eBay is pretty much your only choice.

If it's been blocked by the IEMI sell it on eBay but make it available worldwide.

When I was robbed, the DC told me that the IEMI number will only get it blocked in the UK. The trick these days is to flog them abroad.

I'd give it a few weeks, make sure Orange really do forget about it. I think they have a set amount of time to ask for the phone back, after that its tough. But don't hold me to that!

Hmm, not sure how much, will keep an eye on ebay as i could probably list it as spares if anything.
Will keep hold for a few more weeks to see if i hear anything.
