Hixxy22 · 07-23-2003, 19:04

Hi i have just purchased a second hand Panasonic GD87e from the market and the man said insert a new 'Pay As You Go' (Orange) Sim card and the phone will work straight away. So i purchased a new Orange sim card and inserted it but every time i turn the phone on it come up with the message ' SECURITY FAILURE' and none of the phone is accesable?? whats going on?? can anyone help??

To bad you bought a Blacklisted phone i have had this problem before. you have two chooses now

1) sell the phone for parts it useless
2) change the imei number.

NOTE..
changing imei numbers in the uk is ilegal 5yrs in proison

good luck!!

^o^! good man...and it's usually selling at a very good price..

all stuffs in UK are more expensive except milk, cheese, yogurt and mobile phone...

So my phone is totally useless?? i cant change the IME number can i ??

Is it worth phoneing Orange up and telling them whats happened??

instead of phoning up orange....

IMEI change is possible...but just it's illegal as what u saw in the post before

calling orange......what they tell u is ......give the phone to police for investigation= throw it into your rubbish bin at home
