    it sounds network barred to me.
    :p It is better to be thought of as an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
  • What does that mean hun? Can I get it fixed at all or is it a no goer? xx
  • Sounds like the handset has been blacklisted. This means it has been reported as lost or stolen to one of the networks and they hanve blocked it from being used. Afaik there would be no legal way for you to get it un-blacklisted unless you made the original purchase from the network/store.
  • Oh really? Thats awful, I thought it was too good to be true! I bought it from the carboot- does that mean it is blocked then? x
