The 5210 is unlocked, but it is also blacklisted or barred (however you want to discribe it) this happens for one of three reasons:-

1. The phone has been reported as stolen.
2. The phone has been reported as lost.
3. It was a contract handset and the person who had the contract didn't pay the bill and the network cut it off (which is also technicaly stolen because in the first year of contract the handset belongs to the network).

As for changing the IMEI thats illegal in most countries

Best Regards
