Hey,
Bought a Nokia 6300 from Ebay recently which was listed as unlocked.
I've today put in my sim but it comes up with the message 'Phone Restricted'.
Does this mean the phone is NOT unlocked?

I would have used my own initiative if someone would have told me to!

I wouldn't personally buy a phone from ebay as I've had many people call up because it doesn't work, due to the fact the phone has at one point been reported lost/stolen and it's been blocked. Call up your network provider, they will be able to tell you.

I've got a quote from a local phone shop who said £12, does that seem reasonable?I would have used my own initiative if someone would have told me to!0

Yes thats reasonable, usually around £10-£15 for a BB5 Nokia0

You could raise a dispute with PayPal/Ebay, if you've paid that way as the phone has been misadvertised.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
