Hello Folks,
A mate of mine lost her 4s. It was reported lost and replaced by vodafone. Then 6 months later her fella found it hidden down the back of some furniture in the house.
Now we've done a bit of a deal whereby if I can get it working I'll buy it from her.
In it's current state it's an iPod Touch. When we put her SIM in it we get 'No Service' where the signal strength should be.
I've tried a restore but does this phone need unlocking or anything? Basically, I'm on Voda too but I don't want to buy it from her if it's been bricked...what are the symptoms of a bricked phone? What will I need to do to get it going?
TIA, Rob.

I suppose your friend could tell Vodafone that she had found it, and ask for it to be unblocked...Of course Vodafone may then ask for money to cover the cost of the no-longer necessary replacement
That's what I was thinking...would an unlock fix it Matt?
It could be worth your while your friend saying she's found her iPhone again and see what they say?
As part of the replacement process, the old handset legally becomes their property and they're not just going to give that up.
