Buying an iPhone from Craigslist?
Ok, well I have a couple questions. I'm NEW to AT&T & I'm buying an iPhone 4 from someone on Craigslist. 1) Do I HAVE to be in a contact if I buy the phone from them? 2) I'm planning to put it on H2O. A prepaid service for AT&T GSM phones, am I allowed to do that or do I need to be in a contract? 3) What do I look for when purchasing this iPhone from them? How do I know if it's a scam or stolen? I'm planning on meeting up at an AT&T store near me.
My advice to you is to buy a CDMA iPhone on EBAY and connect it to pageplus I can do it for you for free after you buy it CLEAN ESN tho pageplus offers a lot of different prepaid plans it's just great and it works in Verizon's network which is even better.
Now answering your q's.
1) you don't have to
2) I'm not sure but maybe you can FLASH IT OR HAVE someone do it for you through your computer it's called a REMOTE ACTIVATION go to beigephone.com maybe there you can do that. You can't just activate an iPhone to a prepaid company
3)Look for CLEAN ESN/MEID NUMBEr which means it hasn't been reported stolen or anything and get a good condition one 100% functional
4) don't meet up with a store they'll trick u into paying more somehow or telling u you can't connect it and tell you to get a 2yr contract
Buy off eBay trust me there's a lot of top sellers! Hope I helped and I really recommend u pageplus! Goodluck!
