is there a way to check an imei iphone number?
hi guys,
I have bought an iphone 3gs from ebay, i reset it back to factory settings and ive actived the phone and sim through itunes. It now says Awaiting Activation, this may take some time.
this has been like this for ages and says no servicewhere the signal bar should be.
I just wondered if there is a free way to check to see if its a blocked handset!
or would it not of activated if it was stolen?
thanks
sam

The validity comes back green very likely? Does that mean it's ok? Not lost or stolen etc?

It's called stealing personal information for fraud, not customer service.
