Telco contract phones are risky.
You acknowledge and agree we have the rights to block the IMEI of the Device if you are:
1, suspected of fraud or found to have committed fraud; or
2, after signing up to this Offer, you fail to make payment for a continuous period of three (3) months.

Yes, that’s the normal terms and conditions. Need to be extra cautious when buying a used one these days.

So in the end did you report that mudah scammer?

Wondering, how if got the phone from company dinner lucky draw without any receipts? Anything I can do to check whether it is Telco phone or not?

how do you even know if the phone is being under Telco plans, which telco because anyone can lie.

I don't think you can check. I'm very skeptical about buying those phones that are "lucky draws" or "gifts". Really got so many people that are so lucky or have friends/relatives that are so generous meh?

True, so exercise caution when buying.

true.. lately a lot of ppl selling phone under categories 'lucky draw'.. zzzz

Hi. I have bought iphone X new sealed in box in february this year. I bought it from a person i saw his ad in facebook. That was early this year so i dont really keep his number.

Then on early november this year suddenly showing no service.

I went to apple center. A week later they replaced me with a totally brand new iphone X.

After using this new iphone x for about 2months it shows no issue service again. I went to apple center again but this time they said my phone have been blocked by MCMC? Seriously? Why at the first place they replace me with new iphone and now telling me this new iphone is being blocked with MCMC?

Means this ne iphone have been blocked by telco? How do i find out which telco blocked it?

Finding the seller is impossible i think coz i lost the conversation and his number. I dont feel suspicious since its brand new seaed and using the phone with no problem at all for 10months.

Or my iphone is totally unuseable now? Practically i have been using this phone for 11months but its only 1month++ old since Apple just replaced it 1month++ ago.

Is there any way to find out which telco blocked it? I went to celcom center they said they cannot check which telco is it from.

Aren't you envious of those lucky people? I am, heh heh...

Oh wow, real life example of what can really happen with a telco set. Since it's not blocked by Celcom, it could be maxis. Maybe check with them and see.

Well another telco sure cannot check others telco block.. U needed to go check each telco...

Why sealed set u ask. Simple. Example I sign up Maxis most expensive plan. Rm188. Then the iPhone XR could be foc and I ask them not to open and it can be totally sealed. Then I take the phone and sell to you rm3k. Maxis first month NG block maybe 2nd or 3rd month only block. By the time I know it is too late. Btw u can’t check unless u go to each telco but then it is hard also cause no number and ntg. How they wan to check for u.

The replacement new iPhone X comes with new IMEI and serial number.

How do the Telcos get this new info to block your phone again?

That is why im wondering as well. Apple center said their system already upgrade.

Well..maybe I'm the lucky 1..not iPhone but mate 20 Pro, got from company dinner lucky draw...thought to sell it out for cash, but then now decided to use it myself..

You mean Apple release iMEI coded to MCMC ?

Nice. Congrats!

One possible situations..
Since MCMC is the boss of telco

Double poat

Bloody hell.. i kena this too.. exact same situation.. I brought in my iPhoneX I bought from this f**ker in LYN called “AK Comm” in Dec 2017 and they swapped a new one for me.. happened last week my phone no network and I sent it back and now they tell me high chances its telco locked now..

I thought Ak Comm says as long as it gets locked they will help you settle?

Was tempted to buy an iPhone X from him some months ago but glad I decided otherwise.
