Nokia N70

I brought a Nokia N70 off ebay used and im not overall happy with it.

It was in offline mode when i got it and i didnt have a clue on how to get it to work - although i did in the end next problem i cant even get the front cover off and have no clue.

Next problem when i try to phone my number it says calls are not being accepted to this number and when i try to make a phone call from the phone it just comes up disconnected and does that beep noise as to say you've dialed a wrong number ( when in fact i havent!!! )

There is no manual no proper box or anything all i have is 2 cases 64mb MMC and the phone its self along with a leather case.

Now i've emailed him saying bla bla contact me asap. im thinking whether to return it and get my money and buy a BRAND NEW ONE for £165.00 Incl. P&P

I brought this phone all together for £145.00

    Get a refund and then buy a new one from a reputable place.

    Did the listing state that there was no manual or box?

    Have you had a look at the Nokia website or taken it somewhere like Carphone Warehouse to see if they know what's wrong?

    What I don't understand is that you don't seem that happy with the phone as a whole and yet are willing to put down over 150 notes for a new one? Why not just get a completely different phone?

    I do like the N70 but this one i've used my mates N70 and it was alot faster and just seamed better Hers was Brand spanking new - This N70 that i have is slow, and i rushed into buying it with out thinking it all the way through.

    I was going to get the N80 but its too much

    But in general I do like the Nokia N70 But not this one.

    but think about why its slow. Because its used. Which means even if you buy a new one, after a while it could end up equally as slow.

    And i doubt you will get a refund easily.

    If someone loses a phone and they have the IMEI code they can stop all calls into and out of the phone . isnt that your problem? ive read about probles with calls before , check nokia's website for help . If not , im sure he will be more than happy to give you a refund . Ive done it on ebay before with faulty items.

    Good look with the new phone, if your not worried about losing anything that comes with the phone i.e. Pictures Games . then you could try a master reset and clear . ONLY DO IT IF YOU GET EVERYTHING ELSE WORKING. they might not be too happy if they get it back and half the stuff that was on it has gone!

    To be honest this is why I wouldn't buy a phone from Ebay. It's probably dodgy as hell.

    Good luck getting a refund. Otherwise it could maybe be the firmware that needs an update?

    As I understand this phone is impossible to get UNLOCKED from anyone other than the network provider themselves. They themselves are rather unkeen to do it and ive read on eBay of them charging up to 100 pounds to do it! As a result I believe this is quite a reasonable price I have set the phone at taking all this into consideration.
    ...i think you've fucked it mate, cant see the seller giving a refund for the reasons you've mentioned when they've put this is in the listing
