  Any phone no matter what model will send its IMEI, purely for the fact as that is the number that determines wether a phone should be allowed network access or not.

  Perfect - thank you.
  
  I sent my Iphone for repair and it seems the O2 shop has lost it - they have offered to replace it - but I'm just wondering if they could find it - if its been used?

  Yeah, the IMEI is what the phone uses and what networks use to blacklist handsets. The network should be able to find out wether its been used

  Smashing - just because I wouldnt mind that original one back. But I guess it's now disappeared into thin air!

  Always the way! I had to take my 3GS in to the Apple Store due to a dock connector fault and they swapped it out with a brand new unit. Unfortunately since then my Free Wifi at McDonalds has stopped working as they think I'm using a different phone with the same SIM card. I'll get around to sorting that out shortly lol!
