NO .. you have a stolen phone. If you get stopped by the police for any reason and they investigate it you could end up being charged with handling stolen goods, or even theft. Don't carry it around with you.. a criminal record isn;t worth it for an mp3 player. Sell it to one of our Polish friends (that's what we do when we get scammed by people selling contract fones then claiming on them) .. they will usually give you a pretty good price. Sounds like you have a reasonable small phone shop.. In some areas they are now legally obliged to report both you and the phone to the police, how they do that is they say "it needs to go to xxxxx place to be unlocked, can you come back and collect it tomorrow?? .. name and address please.. thanks.. about <whatever> time it will be ready" .. busted. Usually that's shops who are on the last warning after being caught with a pile of blocked phones. Trade info tells me that in the next 2 years a block will be worldwide.
