My sister bought a second hand device off of ebay some time ago for her sons birthday today but it will not dial out or send or receive texts nor give a signal on O2. I have had a look at it today and my sim is fine (voda) but it says it needs to be activated but I cannot do it.
I have had a further google and ended up doing a checkmend on it and it has the following:

Looking at the above seems it has been reported lost to a network, seems likely to be O2. Now she bought this over like 6 months ago so is way out on lodging a claim and I asked her did she check it at the time and she said yes and it was all working and not a problem with an O2 sim as she had used her own in it and then put it away. The ebay user upon looking is no longer a registered user so what are her options here?
Could it be unlocked and my nephew use it on Voda? Any other options?
