Could this have been stolen?

Phone was unlocked out of the box so no chance of it being blocked unless by Google.

Any GSM operator can blacklist any IMEI if reported stolen and it won't work anywhere in the world.

I'd say she probably acquired the phone through her work and wasn't needed but not supposed to sell it.

Sky? NowTV?
mobile…any one of a number of other providers who piggy back on O2?

Yes. Looking at sky as an option. With my daughter and family buying the house I will move into the 'granny flat' which only has terestrial TV so it needs some thinking about.

There are some deals on Sky Stream at the mo for BB etc, you can just get a second box if they also want Sky. let me know if you need a referral to get us both some dosh (vouchers)

Did you check if it had been out in the rain? If so that's why it was cheap.

Ummm, good job but probably the wrong thread for this!

Work can block it as well, I've read stories of people having devices blocked years after accuring them as someone stole it from a business and sold it on. As many of us work from home these days I'm sure the temptation is there but a decent IT department will have logs of what has been sent out and who has it.

Why does everyone think it's dodgy ?

Have some trust in humanity guys

Brand new, £200 off RRP, selling for a friend, no receipt/proof of purchase/ownership…the third point is most off putting for something high value and new to not even have an email

Was it stolen or did you use it like it's stolen?🤣🤣🤣

Well the IEMI obviously wasn't blocked. 😂

If its stolen its quite likely the IMEI will be blocked. Read the nu ber off the box and whack it in one or the many online imei checkers.

Connected to a network now and running fine. Checked, not stolen.
