Page 1 of Nokia N95 denied

bought me a N95 from Ebay on Orange put me a payasyougo chip in after a few weeks the networks vanished and i get a denied sign where the Orange title used to be on the screen..

whats goin on .. won`t call out but i can use everything else

it sounds like it`s been imei barred, ie, reported stolen or lost :(

have you tried any other sims in it ? i don`t think that will make a difference tbh, as it previously worked on orange without probs.

You`ve been scammed.
Most likely, the person whom you bought the phone from has reported it lost or stolen, and has claimed a free replacement phone from their Orange insurance. Your phone has now been blacklisted and won`t let you make calls. The scammer has pocketed the money you paid for the phone, and got a free phone to replace it. Meanwhile, you`ve got a doorstop.
This type of scam is depressingly common on eBay, and I`d avoid buying latest phones from such places.
All you can do is report it as a crime, you could also contact PayPal or your credit card company in the hope of getting some of your money back. Good luck, I think you`ll need it...

oh balls, i could sell it abroud though...?

If you paid by Paypal, and he didn`t send it to you by a tracked method (ie you didn`t sign for it), and his account is still active, *and* it`s been less than 90 days since the transaction.... you could get your own back by telling Paypal it never arrived in the first place...
