almost true Mark, the phone belongs to the network from begining to end of contract they then have the right to request ts return at the end of the contract period.
can they block it, yes in event of unpaid bills, however this will not normally done as an imei block as suggested above is can be tricky to get lifted. it will also only work in the uk.
normal process is to block the sim and then sell the debt to a debt collector. in the meantime black listing the address for the network but not the credit agencies, however a Non paying customer will also lose a lot of points from their credit rating.
