But then you'd have to sell a p800 with a blocked IMEI, which would mean you'd have to do even more illegal things for it to work...
I dont think selling a p800 which has been reported stolen is gonna work too well these days...

I don’t think you’d have to worry about getting banned for talking about committing insurance fraud on Esato. You’d only have to worry about us laughing at you if/when you get caught.

no, it will just not work on any UK network.
And then if you try and connect it, ie. put a sim card in and turn the phone on, i assume the IMEI will be logged onto the network, it won't work, but the network will know a stolen phone is trying to connect to the network. I'm not sure how it works from there, but I mean if they know what Cell's ur connected to, they could do some calculations and work out where you are (roughly).
But i'm not sure how far mobile phone operaters/companies actually take it.
Edit: and whatever happens, the person you sell it to, will then call up to ask why it isn't working, the network will tell them this is a stolen phone, then you will get reported.

Doing a "Job" on your phone is not a simple thing now that the government have made the networks do more to reduce the desirabillity of phone fraud, it's not worth getting a black mark with insurance companies for, you may pay back most of the money in higher premiums in the future, stolen phones all go overseas from UK now, & the people that export them are VERY VERY ruthless.
Do yourself a big favour & look for LEGAL ways to get a good deal, because at your age, if you start defraudinng insurance companies now, by the time your 20 you will be in a terrible rut of petty crime & you will never make any money because although crime does pay, it only pays crappy money & you cant buy legit things like nice cars & a house because they will ask where you got the money

The wisdom of seven sages has spoken young lozishere.
Report it stolen. I dare you. Then watch how the insurance company rip you to shreds.
I ain't going to tell you how to beat the system. Because it can & has been done.
But this is called FRAUD! As you said yourself.
Fraud,drugs... the list is endless. Do you know what can of worms you just opened.
What late night programmes are you watchin sonny jim?
An easier way may be to report a PROPER fault. Then only hope they offer P900 if P800 is out of stock.
Fat chance though, as there will be plenty of refurbished P800's knocking about. 
Yes... it will probably be refurbished. Read the insurance T&C's.

hahah i had a good laugh as some of u r more naive than a dog! :lol: First, what u have2do is2read ur insurance REAL well.U'll have ur answer there.There u'll find out what happens when u report it stollen.IMO an insurance is worthless as u cant prove some1 stole it from u unless u have injuries so u can say u've been molested..in france it was the only way they would accept a claim.Otherwise,they wouldnt pay ur phone.So no insurance4me. I never lost a phone anyway,neither stollen.
