Buying an iphone off craigslist? Can it get blacklisted?
I'm planing to buy a phone from some random person of craigslist and they said the esn is good and they'd meet at a sprint store. Will sprint transfer my pictures and stuff to the new phone and activate the new phone free? Another thing, if all is well and it gets activated can it be blacklisted once it's mine and activated?
There are sites online to check ESN if its stolen phone or not. Have him email you the ESN then copy it into checkesnfree.com and obviously if it already says blacklisted don't go through with the sale, just drop it and move on. And if it says allowed or good (i forgot what the exactr words are) you are good to go and just because you buy a phone from craigslist doesn't mean you will be blacklisted just make sure you run that check first
These are good instructions for verifying an iphone is not stolen or bad

Sprint will charge you an activation fee!

- If I buy an iPhone off of craigslist can I get a nano-sim at walmart? Being the impatient college student that I'm, I'm trying to buy an iPhone 5s off of craigslist. Naturally, the Tmobile store is closed; can I get the correct nano-sim from walmart to activate it? I'm currently under contract at Tmobile so I'm not sure if they'd have to do it there or not.
