It's the same as a lost or stolen GSM phone. You can have your provider block the IMEI from registering. You can still use that phone on another provider but not with the provider that blocked it. I would not put the idea of blocking foreign IMEI aside as a carrier could this under the guise of "ensuring network integrity."

I'm with the idiots for a wireless carterfone decision. I don't think we were better off with with renting landline phones from AT&T. There's nothing stopping a GSM provider from blocking all unbranded IMEI's, including your neo.

I'll agree that not permitting locked phones would be a good thing --
but I was under the impression it wasn't technically possible to lock
out a phone.  Unless they used a soldered SIM chip or something.
