change imei number?

---

hi guys.

I just bought another TP2 from Ebay to replace my one which is broken. I've put my simcard but it doesnt register on my network. I've tried my sim card in another phone and it works fine, and I'm able to connect to wi-fi on the new TP2, but not to my network....so I've come to the conclusion that it must have a locked imei number.
I conacted ebay and the seller to ask whether it was a stolen phone, but to no avail. the seller has de-listed and ebay arent interested as the phone is in "working order", even though I cant connect to a network!!!

is there anyway to change the number, or unlock it, so I can use it? Otherwise it's a pretty expensive paper weight! My fault for not checking these facts before buying, but you live and learn....anyone help?

Cheers

Don't expect advice on changing the IMEI here.

As for unlocking, take a look here: http://rhodium.htc-unlocks.com/ (as far as I know, there is no free solution).

report the transation to paypal. You'll get your money back. Especially if the phone was potentially stolen.
