tytn/m3100 question

[unsv]

hi guys,

so far ive unlocked the sim from my orange m3100, installed windows 6, some nifty tools,

and im over the moon with it all!

now, my question is this , ive had to (for reasons i wont go into) default on my orange contract of three years, and so the unlock, and move to 02,

now, i havnt IMEI unlocked,

do you think, in a fee weeks/months, etc orange will IMEI brick the fone?

even if i settle what i legally owe them?

is it worth forking out the 20 quid to have the IMEI unlocked?

thanks for any input guys n gals!

thanks for the info so far on the rest of the site!

if you are on about imei-unlock.co.uk they dont unlock the IMEI they unlock the SIM of the phone. If you dont pay your bill, of course they will block the IMEI. Maybe they might not block the IMEI if you pay the outstanding bill, but you will have to discuss that with them.


Anyway i will say this again so you are clear imei-unlock unlocks the SIM not the IMEI. Oh and you wont find any tools on here to unlock the hermes IMEI either. So pay the bill or get blocked mate . your choice

paying the outstanding bill is not a prob, fella.

im worried they'll brick me cos im defaulting on the contract (legally though)

As I'm in Australia I can only comment on here... BUT, if the contract has been paid out, then the phone, with it's IMEI, are legally yours... If they block it you could take it up with your countries version of Consumer Affairs... Most contracts in OZ run that you pay the outstanding contract (and any handset repayments) and you can walk away with no problem. They are legally able to block the IMEI IF you don't pay the handset charges BUT they are generally included in the final payout they request.

Once all charges are paid the contract becomes null and void.

Cheers...:D
