f480 dilemma............

about 4months ago my daughter lost her samsung f480 tocco mobile,so after informing orange they replaced it using my insurance and everything was fine, but now my daughter has found her lost samsung stuffed down the side of the car interior.........(kids eh? )

now the phone is now locked as it was reported lost as i said......if i contact the provider (orange) will they unlock the phone or refuse to as i reported it lost?

it may sound like a silly question but it seems a shame to just throw away a very good mobile,is there anyway to unlock this mobile to make it usable again


any advice wud be great.................cheers

YES!!
either you can change IMEI,, then phone is usable again (change imei with nspro or if you are end user take it to a "dodgy" phone shop that will do it for you.. some may refuse because it is illegal. ) or report it found and then you will probably have to hand it in. or sell on ebay to oseas customer. imei blocked will work oseas
