IPhone 5s stolen, retrieved, and got replaced. What can I do with the stolen/retrieved one?
Added (1). It was stolen
I reported it stolen to T-Mobile
They sent me a new one for $175 under my insurance
I retrieved the old one because I found the thief
Can I give the old one to my mom under the same company plan? Or will T-Mobile think we scammed them?
No, since you reported it stolen it will be a bad esn so you won't be able to use it anymore. You can use it like an ipod touch though on Wi-Fi.
Asurion is well aware that people try this as a scam to have a second phone to sell. THE ONLY thing you can do, to make the "stolen" phone usable is to contact the insurance company, tell them the "story" and here is what will happen, They will send you a prepaid box to RETURN the REPLACEMENT phone to them.
Once they get it back, they will release the OLD phone from the blacklist so it can then be activated. Should the REPLACEMENT phone never arrive on their end, you will be charged the FULL retail price for it, and you will be left with the "stolen but found" phone, still with the bad ESN/IMEI that can't be activated. Oh and ONLY the original account hold of the "stolen phone" can get it un-blacklisted.
- When my iPhone 6 screen is replaced by apple, will the home button be replaced as well? Ever since I updated to iOS 9 on my iPhone 6, the home button has been totally unresponsive. On top of this, my phone was recently stepped on and the screen was shattered. I plan on paying the $109 to have the screen replaced from apple, but does that replace the home button too? I've heard that when the front screen panel is replaced, so is the home button/touch id.
- My iphone5 charger is broken and i got new one but not the apple one? So the charger is travel charger and it says charge quickly, constant voltage supply, over volt/over current protection, thermal shutdown protection.( btw its from AFIS korea) My phone really charge faster but i keep getting this message when charging "this cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably" 1st is it ok to use this charger? And if its fine then can it be harmful to use travel charger everyday?
