Receivd a free upgrade from o2 but....
 
Can i sell it?

Iv heeard that o2 can find out if youre not using it and "stop" the mobile from working? Eg stop you from selling it on

Or is that bullsheet?

pretty sure its crap. as long as your paying your monthly bills, why would they give two fooks whos using the phone?

Yeah you can sell it - But it will probably be locked to O2 sims only.

If it's the HTC I'll buy it :D

There are loads of unwanted upgrades for sale on EBay - so don't worry about it

O2 phones are unlocked - I'm on O2 and my wife is on orange and can drop her sim straight into my phone (done the same with my work Vodaphone sim as well)

You can always see what its worth on Mazuma, saves the hassle of Ebay scammers.
I just got a free upgrade today actually, so am selling my old N95. Still worth good money :)

The new one is quite a funky little thing too, easy to use, and pocket sized. Gone off all the latest hi-tech ones these days.

Bash0rz 17 May 2008 06:09 PM

asked for a free bluetooth headset and they gave one too bless em

All I've got is the 850i :(

<sigh> got it just before the decent phones started arriving on the market.

K or W... or neither?
I have given up having the latest these days. N95 was a breakthrough phone, so until the next decent break through comes along, I will stick with clever easy phones.

Got a couple of upgrades due come the winter, so the new one will do for now :D

Im sure you could replace it with something that you prefer if you popped a few quid on top :)

How he heck can the HTC tytn ii only be worth £40???? If anyone has one for sale at THAT price I'd bite their hand off :D

The only time that o2 can stop you from using a mobile that they sold you, is if you claim its been lost or stolen. They can then put a block on the IMEI number to stop the theif from using it.

A lot of people used to have insurance on their mobile so to make some extra cash they would sell the phone and claim insurance for it being lost/stolen.
So to try to combat this they would start blocking the phones.
I was tempted to do this once :lol1:

In your case you would have nothing to worry about :thumb:
