Blocked iPhone 4

[Peter Griffin]

I have been offered to buy a blocked iPhone 4 for cheap. Would I be able to unblock it myself through the jailbreak at all I'm in the uk and it's on t-mobile.

You mean unlock right? It depends on what baseband/modem firmware it has.

[Peter Griffin]

Well it has been blocked by the network so no, I don't need to know how to unlock I know how to do that I mean like when it is blocked after being lost/stolen.

[Simon]

Aah I see. No idea then.

[macimaster]

no there is no way to do it, i bought a phone from ebay that said it worked fine when i got it it wouldn't work, so i called O2 and they said that because the phone is reported lost or stolen they can't do anything, it is basicly an expensive ipod.

You used to be able to sramble the imei with Ziphone years ago on the 2G but its not been looked into really with the new phones..

[Peter Griffin]

Ok. Do you think it will ever be looked into?
