registering iphone 4s IMEI

[buffej]

Hi,

I bought an iPhone 4s, from someone who had ait as an unwanted upgrade brand new and sealed and it is locked to Vodafone. I want to register the IMEI under my name for precautionary measures, just in case the person i brought it from tries to cheat in the future by calling Vodafone saying the phone has been stolen or lost, and might result in having the IMEI blocked. How do I go about this?

I guess the answer will be the same as when you posted the identical question and text but using a different name on 26th January.

I have not asked this question before as it is the first time I have ever brought a phone not directly from a shop and have only joined the Eforum a couple of days ago.

I take it I am not the only person to have asked the question but I can assure you this is my first time and I am actually quite offended that you suggested I have.

Hello LeeH and Simon, any chance I can get a PM for how to do this as well? Need to unlock an iPhone4 and having filled in the NUF form (Vodafone are not recognising IMEI) and already waited 8 mins with CS on the phone so would use you guys (who seem to know what they are doing) if possible. Please let me know.. Thanks!
