nokia 7250

HI PEOPLE

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NOKIA 7250 PHONE FROM A MARKET STALL ONLY TO FIND WHEN I PUT A SIM-CARD, IT DOESN`T RING OUT!!!

DOES THIS MEAN THE PHONE HAS BEEN STOLEN OR AN INSURANCE JOB?? IF SO DOES THAT MEAN THE PHONE IS USELESS AND I`VE BEEN ROBBED OF 170 QUID!!!

ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED:confused:

If your getting three beeps when trying to call out then the phone has barred...... This could mean it is a lost or stolen phone.

[butchjarvis]

yes i am getting 3 beeps when i try ring out does that mean the phone is useless or can it be unblocked on another network???

[MrWolfman]

means the phone is reported lost or stolen like he said
its illegel to do anything with the phone in the uk

[butchjarvis]

would it be worth unlocking it onto all networks and offloading it abroad?????

[Yotamz]

yes, it will not be barred outside the uk...
it's the only thing you can do with it..

stories like this always remind me not to buy stuff that i don't know how/where it came from..

[butchjarvis]

tell me about it but then again you live and learn........i`m really pissed off for losing 170 squid
