Hello. I bought a second hand SE K700i off eBay, but it turns out that it's been blocked. I think the owner must have reported it stolen or something to get the insurance, but that doesn't matter.
So I understand that I can unblock it by changing it's IMEI number, but that it's illegal. Just how illegal are we talking? And can the phone networks detect if you have changed the number, and report you to the police?
Next - How easy or difficult is it? What will I need if I decide to try changing it's IMEI? Has anyone managed to change theirs and lived to tell the tale?
I hope my questions aren't too newbie-ish.
