| 6265i... Telus... You're pretty much screwed.. Lets say you got it unlocked, you still couldn't activate it if it was reported stolen. I am not sure if you can change the ESN on the phone, I am sure there is a way, but it would have to be of another Telus phone. It does have a slot similar to a SIM, however it is not one, and is not in use as of yet since it is a CDMA phone (not GSM). Your best bet is to sell it on ebay or something to someone in the states, they can unlock it and activate it on a US provider. Sorry man. |

All depends on the make / model / provider.

well if it's a CDMA phone, which it is.. someone (likely the previous owner) may have gotten the ESN # blocked, especially if it was lost/stolen and then resold. An ESN # is like a VIN # for your car. Each phone has one that uniquely identifies it from another. If you're on a provider like Telus or Bell that uses a CDMA network, when a phone changes owners, the provider reassigns the phone number to the ESN # of that phone. you'd hafta find someone or someplace that can reprogram the ESN # on the phone so that you can use it again. I'm not too certain how exactly this is done, but it sounds like that's your problem.
Either that or the keylock is on and wells.. let's not go there heh
on another note.. check out www.howardforums.com for good info on this
ps. go GSM!!

ummmm. stealing/supporting stealing is wrong. but besides that(I know you didn't come here for a lecture, you're obviously cool with it)... just be careful.
I know that I have reported every phone I lost or was stolen. That way if anyone ever tried to activate it again I would have the satifaction of having them in the hot seat trying to explain how they came across stolen property. |
