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?

You can call 191 and ask them t register the IMEI on your count.

But be aware that this does not protect you from a previous owner claiming the phone was lost / stolen or damaged. It merely shows that you are now using the phone, to protect yourself you need to keep all the documentation relating to the purchase, if you bought it on eBay there will be a record of your transaction. Keep the details of where you sent the money to pay for the phone and also details of the seller.

Hi angelshero,

There's some great advice from kids. Thanks :smileytongue:

You can also call into your local Vodafone store, ask them to check the phone and record the IMEI on your account, but again keep all the documentation from the purchase.

Cheers

One good reason for registering the IMEI against an account is if there is loss or damage and you wish to,make an insurance claim it is a lot quicker for the insurers to verify that it is your phone.
