sim free phone

rhanley1 · 2014-07-04 11:58:10

I bought a SIM free phone online, popped my sim in and set it up. It worked ok in Dublin but once outside I am having awful trouble. I brought it to the UK and I couldnt use it at all. Any ideas of what I can do to fix it, I paid a lot of money for it :( please help

Sounds like the phone was reported lost or stolen in the UK and was blacklisted. This scam has been going on for a while, UK blacklisted phones will work outside the UK and unscrupulous sellers are getting blacklisted phones from the UK (Where they are generally stolen)and selling them here where they will work, unfortunately once you take it to the UK it will stop working.
