It's the SIM that would be blocked by the service provider.

thought they blocked phones , i.e lost ones and stolen ones by the aemi? number
dont really want one thats jailbroke , just want to see if there is anyway of checking that its not still on a contract

they could block the imei, but isnt that if its stolen usually? then blacklisted on uk networks etc
also jail breaking is fine to use the app store afaik
but if theres a new update and your on an older ver jail break yer get told new update etc
ive not got an iPhone though, as i refuse to buy some apple crap but thats another Story
bloke at work has one and jail broken etc w/o any issues
jail breaking wont help if the phones imei number is barred

You can always call a network provider and tell them the IMEI number so they can check if it's reported stolen/lost.

There isn't any way of knowing if the phone is still on a contract.

if theres an app update on an app u installed with cydia lets say u cant do it thru the app store as it will ask u to purchise the app...but u can get updates throught a jailbroke app called installus or somthing like that.
mines not jailbroke now as i went to 4.2os which is the most usless update ever wish i never done it crash's more now than b4.
if a phone is jailbroke dont be put off buying it as u can soon just install the os again and it will once again be original but most unlocked iphones are only unlocked thru a jailbroke app called Redsnow i think it is...but as for the network thing think ur a bit stuck on that.

if the provider service blocks it then it is blocked simple as ive got iphone thats jail broke and ive never had any problems with i tunes at all if the service provider blocks it then even if you have it unlocked it will still not work...........

I deal with iphone repairs and I can confirm that if a phone is barred ( reported stolen ) then it will not make or recive calls, some networks will allow data usage or txt but that's about all.
Most iPhone can be unlock ie, orange, o2, vodaphone, t-mobile. I can provide this service but not cheap I'm afraid but it's done direct from apple so it's a life time unlock.

sorry buddy, 3 network is not supported for direct unlock at the moment, you would need to jail break it with cydia but it does depend on the software version you are running
