    EE/T-Mobile/Orange now clearly state in their terms and conditions that the phone still belongs to them in the first 6 months of any contract sold with a handset and must be used with the supplied sim during that time, otherwise you may find the IMEI blacklisted or you may be charged the unsubsidised cost of the phone.
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂
  • I asked TalkMobile when I started a new contract if I could sell the phone and they said yes........... so neenerrenerrr

    Another reason to avoid the Devil's spawn that is EE.

    I get my phones from the dealers; they supply them, not the network.
