Default Mobil Phone Tech Question

Imagine i had a mobile sent to me by a service provider....and it got broken on route.

Now...pretend they sent a new one but forgot to ask for the bust one back...and i fixed it.

Would they be able to "track" that bust phone when i turn it on and realise that a phone they thought was "out of the system" was up and running?

As far as I know only Orange would be able to track this - the rest of the service providers don't seem to give a **** about who registers what handsets with them - but I may be wrong - BB may well be watching.

If you put a SIM in and it works then I'd say you are fine. If you really wanted you could try and find a backstreet shop would could change the IMEI number for you.... although that is not legal AFAIK
