Blackberry 8830 W.E Invalid IMEI
Hi. I'm new to the blackberry and got a free 8830 from a friend some time ago that he found while cleaning out some offices. I tried the IMEI blacklist checker at Swappa, but checking all 3 numbers (ESN, IMEI, and the other one, cant remember its name) keeps coming up as invalid. I was hopeing to use this on a prepaid account here and, if possible, unlock it later on down the road when i go overseas
I dont really know much about the phone yet.
The Revelent numbers are:
ESN (found under battery) 0761569285
IMEI 359089.01.684214.0
ESN (dec) 07615659285
ESN (hex) 4ceef115
I'm not sure why there is a missmatch between the esn on the battery case and what it shows me under menu>options>status.
I'd like to get some use out of this phone. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a greay market or some other scam sale, as it does show a decent amount of wear and before i wiped it (forgot how i did it now) it did have old messages and other signs that it was used.
Can anyone help me out here?
