This is not true. There is hope. I placed my sim card which was used in the barred iphone into another phone and dialled a number; then I returned it to the barred iphone and then it worked again. It seems that the mobile provider might be barring the phone by querying a lost/stolen database with the IME number on the phone; then if the iPhone is lost/stolen it then stores this information on the sim card/service providers account blocking the user from calling anyone.
Some solutions to this problem would be to change the IME number, block outgoing information to the service provider or to remove and prevent the barring data from the sim card.
