CEX Tablet contains SIM: Active and costing £57 a month!

I would go with the receipt from CEX into to Vodafone and ask them to check, if it turns out stolen get some writing to say so and then go back to CEX and kick up a fuss to get a full refund.

Just take out the sim,Carry on using your new tablet as usual.

Anything comes of it (which it shouldn't) just deny there was any sim card in it when you bought the tablet.

And when it gets IMEI blacklisted?

Haven't come across a single case where someone buying a used phone has managed to get one removed. There are so many cases like this on the internet.
 
I watched a programme once about Cash Converters where they check databases to see if it's reported lost or stolen before lending against it or buying it. If found to be dodgy they'll get the police on the sly while you're still waiting at the counter.

Either CeX don't have this policy or procedure in place, or they just couldn't case less to check if it was lost/stolen.
 
I just popped the SIM card out and carried on using the tablet, though if it does get blocked I could always go back to CEX.

They almost certainly do/should according to the company procedures but obviously that relies on one of them engaging their brain which if my local is anything to go by is where this all falls down and the item actually having been reported lost/stolen and the database updated.
 
Is there a way to find out if the tablet is part of some phone plan which comes with a tablet?

If that is what has happened then I'd be tempted to keep using it... If anything comes of it then "I didn't even realise you could put a sim card in a tablet, I thought it was using my WiFi! I'm not a tech whiz see."
 
Well, you can find out the sim cards number and i suppose you can ring up 150 or whatever it is, and check how much left you have on your package. A joint deal will mention the tablet data separately to phone data id imagine.
