I bought this phone and it worked OK for a few weeks then stopped working. I took it into an O2 shop to have their tech guy look at it. He did a few checks and said that the phone had been altered by having the serial number changed and that the company will have put a permament block on the phone as there were now two phones with that serial number. The tech guy said tha this is usually done to phones that have been reported lost or stolen. The phone itself is OK and my sim card works in other phones. I now have a phone that cost me £200 but is of no use to me.
Beware if you buy a phone online.
