    The illegal route would be change IMEI if its possible but that's illegal and carries a big fine. I don't think forum would condone in that kind of action either.

    The other option is to use it as an expensive iPod or bin it.

          Sounds like a stolen phone which has been blocked.

                they can be used abroad or the IMEI can be illegally changed . I bout a galaxy S2 earlier this year that was blocked 2 days later. I couldnt find anyone to change the ImEI so I sold it for half of what I paid to someone who exports them
