Blocked Phone/Insurance Payout
About 5 months ago I made an insurance claim for a lost iPhone & was sent a replacement without any issues. I moved to a new flat last week & found my 'lost' phone whilst packing up.
At the time I contacted '3' to have the handset barred - which it still is. I'm presuming that the phone is the property of the insurance company who supplied my replacement. I presume '3' would unblock the phone upon receipt of proof that it's mine, which I have - would they alert the insurance company that I have had it unblocked? I wouldn't dream of selling it on for fear of causing the buyer future issues, but it would be nice to have it as a 2nd/back up handset. Please can anyone advise? |

The insurance company will have registered against the IMEI that the handset is the subject of an insurance claim.
Just let them know it's been found. |

You should contact the insurance company and tell them you have found it, ask them what to do with it.

Might just leave it as lost then - worried about insurance company wanting pay-back for new phone if I tell them old one is found
Thanks |

It looks like someone with common sense has had a clean up of the thread if anyone thinks Ash45's post is random.
