How to buy an iphone off ebay?

Most of them already have a company like sprint. If I get it will I HAVE to have a plan and contract with sprint? And is there a way I can change it to prepaid? Also, if you can't change it to prepaid, how much would unlimited text and data be and which company is cheapest? Please say the amount (numbers)

If the iPhone listed on eBay doesn't say that its unlocked, then you are forced to use it on whatever carrier that it lists.

No you can't change it to prepaid.

The only two companies that offer unlimited data are Sprint and Tmobile (whom might end up merging anyway). Regardless, the plans are about $80 a month (not including taxes and fees) for unlimited talk text and data.

Yes, you have to buy an unlocked phone, or you buy one that is designed to work on the network you prefer, Sprint, Virgin, Boost whatever. I've had same unlimited with Sprint since '08. Works for me. Also if you or spouse work somewhere they give corporate discounts of up to 25% off monthly bill. Goes a long way. Best luck.

  • What does it mean if i buy a o2 locked iphone 5 off ebay? I was planning on staying on my o2 contract but switching my phone to an iphone by buying one and getting a nano sim card that o2 would give me for free. I have found an iphone 5 for over £100 cheaper (compared to apple price) on ebay but it says o2 locked instead of unlocked. Does this mean that i have to have an o2 contract (which i have so i should be okay i think?) or something else? Someone please explain to me?
