I have a storm that i bought off someone for 175$ i was hoping to replace my scratched up storm but now the MEDI says its stolen so it cant b used...

Cant i try to get it unlocked?

If verizon gives me an unlock code for my original storm is it specific to a single blackberry storm or it can be used on the storm i just bought?

EDIT

Will horizonwireless still unlock it?

Unlock codes are specific to each Blackberry. They can't be used on any other one.

Also, once the IMEI/ESN/PIN/what-have-you of a Blackberry is blacklisted as lost or stolen, I don't think it can be activated for data service.

Agreed. Stolen device = out of luck.

Knowing its HOT, I WILL NOT UNLOCK IT. Im sorry. I hate to turn away business, but i dont like this one bit. Some kid got this for Christmas, and now its gone. so sad.....

I bought it off someone. . .

The idea that it was stolen didn't cross my mind since the price was so good i thought i had nothing to lose. Hopefully i can get my money back. =/

Unfortunately, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

I believe there are some Storms for sale in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum on here. You might want to check those out.

Just FYI Storm for $175 = Stolen. Contact the carrier using the device info you can get it back to the original owner.

That's usually the first thought.

I'm going to try and talk to this guy first... I'm expecting him to give me a hard time though.

Hard time? Let see, give me my money back you sold me stolen property. My next call will be the police, your choice.

How could you expect a $175 storm to not be stolen?

I have the same problem with a 8320, I bought it in Miami and when I activayte the BB inmediately begin to receive mail from the old user, I've contacted by email and she told that she returned the phone because was broken, I discovered that the backlight of the keyboard don't work, I returned to the store and get a new 8320 (I hope it)

Your cell provider sold you a returned phone that was malfunctioning? Ouch, man would I be angry.
