7210 phone IMEI is barred on all UK networks.

[progen8]

Bought a Nokia 7210, from a market stall, and it worked fine for 4 days. I have eventually found out that the phone IMEI is barred on all UK networks.
What can i do with the phone?

is it possible that people have phones barred in thier countries, that would work in the UK, and that my phone would work in thier countries ?.

You cannot change the IMEI on a 7210 with software, it not possible because it has a write once chip (uem of something).

chances are it's stolen, try to take it back (unlikely but try)

Worst case is you have lost your money but atleast you didnt get muged in the street for your phone, like its previous owner possible did.
