This might be standard practice to protect you, the consumer. It's not that long ago that everyone was complaining about the theft rate of mobiles, because of the ease with whcih they could be unlocked.
However, I would expect that a simple call to 3, should set the record straight and confirm to them that you are he legitimate owner of the phone, and thus it should not be blocked. If that simple phone call don't solve it, then that's the time to call in Ofcom.
