im aftraid a 7250i is a DCT-4 Phone, and the imei cannot be changed.. if it were an older phone (DCT-3) then you would be able to make it useable..

i know somone who can probably help you out though.. if he can't, then it can't be done

just visit www.tangcla.com.. i know this guy personally, and he is great

met him when i bought a phone from him

if it is barred (ie reported lost or stolen) then you need to chnage the imei number which identifies it to the network towers..

it is like the physical address for the phone.. the sim-card, and mobile number attatched to it is like the logical address..

so if you can change the imei number (which you can't because it is a DCT-4 phone) to one that isnt reported stolen, and subsequently locked it will become useable..

*takes a breath*

clarence may offer you a bit for it, because he can use the screen, microphone, speaker atc for marts for another broken or water damaged phone.. other than that it's pretty useless.. you could also hold onto it and wait for the technology to be able to change the IMEI.. but it's still a long way off, and by the time it happens phone will be old anyway

sorry bud 🙁
