I guess Someone lost the phone (pre-owned by a "Plephone" user) so he reported to "Pelephone" and they blocked the IMEI and published the Blocked IMEI to the rest of the carriers. for some reason Orange didn't block it.

so i guess my question now is, how can i unblock it, should i change the phone IMEI ? could it be done ?


Thanks.
o thats a big problem but there is no solution to this IMEI #'s can never be changed they are hard modded to the phone and the carrier checks the IMEI from there server so you can't change any thing from SIM either so sorry you can't change it and how did you find out it is stolen?
