    The problem is that "if" the phone was blocked when it went missing, then it wouldn't work in this country but would in India or Pakistan etc.

    It's likely the phone has been passed to someone in that country now and won't return



    that may be the case but isnt the point really and there's all the evidence to prove that it isnt the taxi drivers phone. he nicked it.

    I don't live in Newcastle, I was down there for a night out, I live in Nottingham and had no idea what taxi company it was, I didn't look. I know its doubtful the phone will come back, but at least the criminal will get (hopefully) what he deserves.

    As per poster #14 was it registered on Samsung Dive? Now you have IMIE number you can Lock/Wipe/Ring phone! That could prove amusing!

    It wasn't registered on Dive as I said earlier, I'd not long had the phone and hadn't got everything set up properly yet.

    it could, but could also ruin chances of a conviction and sever any connections to the phone.

    Whilst it'd be amusing to call.. i'd just pass it onto the police

    I've heard they're quite good with tech like this now
