Anyone have a unused or broken N70?

Lord Nikon · 03-10-2008 1:39am #1

I lost my nokia N70, and it looks like Vodafone won't replace it until i give them my IMEI, for which I don't have cause it's on the phone.

Does anyone have a broken N70 or unused one so I can have the IMEI?

Thanks

If you got the phone from Vodafone they should have the IMEI..... no broken one sorry.....

I bought it SIM free, but not from Vodafone...

Anyway to read an IMEI without using the screen? my sister's n70's screen broke a few weeks back. Ill have to check if she still has it, and if she's gonna bother getting it repaired. If not, ill drop you a PM

Hey cool. it's on the phone too underneath the battery. It's a 15 digit code, should start with 353.

No problem if you can't get it.

If you made calls on the Vodafone network with your lost N70 then they'll have a record of your IMEI. Also, if you give them an IMEI that is not from the handset you lost and you're trying to make an insurance claim, it won’t be honoured.

one thing though, why would vodafone replace a phone they never sold you, and surely when you give them the IMEI they'll check it against their record of sold phones

The box it came in should have a sticker on it with the IMEI on it - might be worth digging in a few presses.....

I bought the phone SIM free and renewed the contract, which included the insurance on the bill which i continued paying. I didnt buy the phone from a Vodafone store.

yeah and if somebody gives you their imei number, vodafone will *blacklist* it from their network and most networks share their blacklisted imei lists, so somebody will end up with a dead useless phone while you claim on your insurance!!

Make sure if giving an imei for neuromancer that its from a phone that will definitely never be used again!

I was specific about that....

sorry to be the bearer of bad news but,
its going to be of no use to you if anyone can give you an imei, the network will check to see if your sim has been used in the phone & they cross reference it with the imei

First I have heard of that. Why would they ask me for it then, if they already have it?

Anyone have a unused or broken N70?
