I've bought a stolen iphone

So a few weeks ago my beloved iphone was stolen. Being the iphone lover i'm, i couldnt last a week without it so i was desperate enough to get on ebay and purchase one. Today i got my iphone, chucked my sim in there but there was no signal, so popped down to my local vodafone for them to tell me it was reported stolen! What do i do now! Have i essentially just lost £735?

Last time i checked there's no SIM slot on an iPhone. O. O

(also, if you have Find My iPhone, and a friend with an iPhone, just input your info on his/her phone and find yours.)

I have never understood the fascination with Iphones as even an iota of research will reveal their many deficiencies and to that the pricing structure.

Iphone Adverts DON'T tell the whole story & £735.00 is model above the basic 16Gb

"what do i do now! Have i essentially just lost £735? "
Not YA for starters
Either common sense or Ebay… Ebay would be the best bet if you ever want to recover the £735.00

  • Why should I do. I bought a iPhone on craigslist but it's stolen? I was looking for a 4s and I searched on craigslist. I bought one from a guy on craigslist who apparently comes to my school but I don't know his name and my school is pretty big. I took it home put the Meid number onto a website. It told me that it was stolen. Why should I do?
  • If I bought a stolen/lost iPhone can? If I bought a stolen/lost iPhone can I use it, like activate it as my cellphone? Or will it come up stolen or something and I won't be able to use it?
  • I recently bought an iphone off ebay and was wondering if its stolen? - 1 I bought and iphone off ebay and was wondering if it was stolen or "black listed" No sim card in it does unlock
  • I have a stolen iPhone 5c but I didn't know it was stolen? I bought an iPhone and checked the imei and I found out it was stolen. I can't use it yet because it is stuck in the beginning where it says " please insert a sim card, SIM required" I just want to use it as an iPod since I got it for a good cheap price. It is a sprint phone, and also if I take it to Apple or Sprint will they take the phone away? I didn't know it was stolen and I don't want to get blamed or end up losing money. The iPhone was restored already.
