No, it was an illegitimate phone that was hacked/jailbroken to unlock it.

Ok but it means that the phone will not have movile service never more?

Not without unofficial means that cannot be discussed here, use Google.

No one here can check anything based on the IMEI number of your phone.

Ok but do you suggest anything else? that i can do?? I am deseperated i need to solve this situation please

You've already been told. The phone was re-sold illegally, and almost certainly hacked to unlock it. Talk to whoever you bought it from. You can't get help here.

Nor can you get help from Apple. Sorry, but you're on your own in this matter.

Ok but that seller abe-123 (Amazon) dont care about !!!

Bummer. I guess you've learned a hard lesson, then. Don't buy things from unauthorized sources unless you're willing to take the risks involved with doing so.

You can try filing a claim with Amazon, but it's probably a little late for that. You'll have to check with them and see what their policy is.

I bought the new iphone 4s sealed model 239ZP / A 14 months ago and my

hand activation key and then check on the day of activation apple. But today I check the IMEI or serial on Apple site notice:
We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to

My iphone 4s now connecting itunes and still get IMEI update iOS normal. I do not understand what kind of apple that my computer like that? It was too depressed to do this type of apple!

Where did you buy your iPhone? That is from what store.

I purchased my iphone at a large store in Vietnam. What I can not complain at this store because my iphone is currently using good. I also manually update from iOS 5.1.1 via iTunes to 6.1.3 now. Too depressed with the way apple IMEI management!
