5g routers you have to hand back when the contract ends.
They do charge for them if they’re not returned probably why they don’t chase them.I'm really unsure about the whole buying an ex-under-contract modem from CeX. Three has stated that on some contracts the modem is not your property. I've not seen three actually try to reclaim any though. This is what puts me off getting a modem from CeX even though you can pick up the ZTEs for about £140 which I think is a bargain.
You can get an unlock code for the modem, places like eBay have them.
I would have thought remote disabling would be super easy for them. Given they've got the IMEI number of every device they've shipped. They can quite easily ban the IMEI. The question is would they go that far? I don't think so, but I don't know.They probably won't be able to track you down if you bought it from CEX and disabling you remotely seems unlikely as well.
I think they would only charge for it despite still asking for it back. they can't be that desparate can they?I would have thought remote disabling would be super easy for them.

I got all 5 of mine from Ebay and they were all unopened, that was over 2 years ago, so I don't think you should be duly worried about anything GTom.Waking up an old thread, just picked up a sealed "new" Zyxel NR5103E from an ebay seller, who sold many Three branded 5G routers. Should I be worried?
No proof of purchase is coming with the goods...
