If it is banned it probably means the phone is HOT!

That's the only reason I can see the need for the IMEI number changed too.

Illegal to change serial numbers in Australia... at least NSW.

What IMEI 1900 Number ??
streetwise - 20 Apr 2004 07:50 GMT
I think he means there is a 1900 number you can ring to check the status of
an IMEI number,  there used to be a web site you could do the same thing,
but I no longer have the link,  does anyone know if it is still available?
Last time I looked up a number I found my sons phone he was using,  was hot,
the little sh.t!

Is this what you're after?  No idea if the number still works.

Is That Mobile Stolen?

Since 15 September 2003 all carriers share their data electronically
allowing for unilateral IMEI blocking of lost and stolen mobile phones
across all networks.

To assist retailers and consumers to ascertain if a phone has been
reported as lost or stolen, Telstra are hosting an inquiry line which
is 1900 964 634 (call charges apply). This service will provide you
information as to whether or not a handset has been reported as lost
or stolen on the Telstra network.

Warning: This check only provides details of phones reported and
blocked at the time of the inquiry therefore it is not conclusive. If
the owner of the phone does not report it lost or stolen prior to your
purchase, the resulting IMEI check cannot identify it as a lost or
stolen.

All buyers of a second-hand mobile phone should request proof of
ownership at the time of purchase.

Thats probably what the OP was referring to,  There used to be a web site
you could key the IMEI into,  and it would tell you if it was on the hot
list,  going back 2 years or more now.
