If it a UK phone it will work for a why'll and then get blocked but I doubt you will get it working anyway

I'm not sure it needs fixing as it isn't broken - if the person you bought it off reported it as missing, it is as good as bricked. Only the blacklister can unblock it. It's a fairly common scam - sell it, take the money, report it as stolen, take the money.

Sorry Graham. It just I've never seen it written that way before! Auto correct can be so random at times.  :)

I thought that Keith.

Buy a phone from someone who reports it missing and then goes missing himself. Smells a bad un!

As you say - it's as good as bricked and probably no good to anyone.
