Don't do it, don't ever use a phone where you can't set it up as your own.

Oh no! Its just like not having a phone. You can sell the parts for a good price OR sell the phone for a HIGHER price. I've done that.

No. Unless you get into contact with the previous owner. If someone is selling it in that configuration it is likely lost or stolen

  • 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?

  • Can I buy an AT&T locked iPhone from eBay and get it unlocked? I know that some of my friends have done it and it is way cheaper than buying an unlocked phone. I want to be able to use a SIM card from my local carrier. So if I do this, will it work? If so, how can I get it unlocked?
