[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1367277"] I'm not sure what a handset block is, but if they put a different SIM card in it I don't see why they wouldn't be able to use it. You MIGHT be able to convince your service provider (which I presume the iPhone is locked to) to block the IMEI which would effectively render the phone useless to everyone, but good luck accomplishing that, the provider has NO incentive to do this and every incentive NOT to. If you haven't already, you can use Find My iPhone to wipe the phone should it ever come back online ... [/QUOTE]
