Sorry to hear about your loss, Pooky.

Good luck, Vodacom are useless with these blacklisted devices. The legal route just does not work, you have to use other means.
By tracing the IMEI number they can now check any other sim used in that phone and trace it like that.

:mad: I'm still waiting for Vodacom to de-list my wife's phone.

I will have to resort to illegal means to remove it from the blacklist :mad:
 
Shame man Pooky, so you'll be missing the next 2.2 update soon to be released.

The iPhone!?!?!?!

Shame bru..... There's no ways the f@ker that stole it will return it! Did your phone have a password lock on it? Doesn't your gym have CCTV? Maybe you recognise the dude and go back tomorrow same time and beat him with a dumbbell?

Sorry, a little off topic:
Gym's don't do CCTV cause of privacy issues etc etc

Best of luck claiming from insurance.

Man Vodacom are jacked when it comes to this. If someone sticks a contract sim in that black listed phone, they will contact you. Prepaid they can't really do anything about cos the sims aren't registered.

At least, sorry to hear about your misfortune. My wife once left her 60GB ipod in the gym, predictably it too disappeared without a trace, no recourse what so ever from either the gym manager or floor staff...

Unfortunately when we have momentary lapses of concentration there is an opportunistic so and so just around the corner waiting to capitalize...

Sometimes i think the staff just keep the stuff if you hand it in...
 
Pooky if you want to do it let me know, it will cost you money but not near the amount of a new phone and you are pretty much guaranteed of getting your phone back and catching the scum bag.
 
Honestly, how low-class are people these days to steal stuff at the Gym?...
 
Sorry to hear Pooky good luck with it all!

Virgin Active does have cctv at least at POINT on the main floors but once I lost something I looked at the footage and they're really cheapo cameras you battle to make out a persons face. I think facial recognition is a big problem with most of the CCTV crap out there- especially from a distance.

I would love to get my phone back, but I'm not so sure I want to do anything illegal... What does your way entail?
 
They use the system to trace the phone. Basically whatever the cops = vodascum will do but it takes 3-5 days as opposed to months. Maybe go your route and if you hit the brick wall, please contact me.
