| 1331574 | 2013-03-06 07:44:00 | I recently lost my phone and was just wondering if I contacted my service provider if it could be locked using the IMEI number. I'm on 2Degrees. Then I thought, hey what if I found or got my phone back, would I then be able to unlock it using the IMEI? |

| 1331575 | 2013-03-06 07:50:00 | I lost my old one a while ago now and Telecom blocked it so whoever picked it up couldnt use it. And I xferred what was left on it to the new cell # | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1331577 | 2013-03-06 19:46:00 | I don't think 2degrees has a blocking system in place (whereas Vodafone and Telecom do) - this is why you see phones on trademe that "work on 2degrees only" - it's not because of frequencies, it's because they've been blocked by VF and Telecom. | psycik (12851) | ||
| 1331578 | 2013-03-07 08:16:00 | Man that is a bit disappointing how 2Degrees doesn't IMEI block them. Oh well, I'll just get a new one (eg. 'That' $35 Samsung one on telly) | SanChippy (16951) | ||
