Buying and IPhone on Ebay?

I need to buy a new iPhone on ebay because mine has broken.

I have the IPhone 6
I'm an AT&T customer

Question: Will any IPhone with AT&T be acceptable to buy?

Question: When I buy the new phone do I simply transfer my sim card from my last IPhone to it or should I take it to AT&T to get my cellular network on it?

Question: What does an "unlocked IPhone" mean?

If you buy on eBay be prepared for the phone to be blocked by IMEI due to the it being stolen or the original owner having defaulted on payments.

eBay is not the place to buy a second hand phone - you are more likely than not to get ripped off!

My phone is from ebay. Ignore all the people that say its bad. My phone was brand new from ebay and it works perfect! If you receive if it and it doesn't work file for a return! Trust me its 100%%%% safe. Just be careful on what seller you buy from

Will any IPhone with AT&T be acceptable to buy?
--I don't see why not (or unlocked is also an option)

When I buy the new phone do I simply transfer my sim card from my last IPhone to it or should I take it to AT&T to get my cellular network on it?
--Yes, just put in your AT&T SIM & everything should come up as normal (as far as the phone itself of course)

What does an "unlocked IPhone" mean?
--Unlocked phones (in general) are ones that could work on any GSM network in the world, like AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. Locked ones only work on one.

  • What should I consider before buying an iPhone on eBay? I'm with the company Verizon and I would like to upgrade to another phone for the gigs. I'm happy with the model I have it's just that it only has 8GB. I'm trying to buy one from eBay because I know it will be cheaper, but I don't want to get scammed. So what should I consider?
  • Is there a problem buying iphone 5 (unlocked) from ebay? I was going to buy the new iphone 5 from Isreal but the price is like twice from america. I checked ebay and they say i could take a new unlocked iphone for 1000$ with free shipping. Is there any problems that could happen or stuff that won't happen (like the simcard won't work or something). please answer. yea and in Isreal it costs 1500$.
  • Is it safe buying a iPhone 3 on eBay? I'm thinking of buying a iPhone 3GS 8gb for around 60 bucks you think it's safe? Anyone ever got ripped off on a iPhone? I'm eBay or anything? I heard that's one of the worst places.
  • Iphone - buying an iphone offline from Apple and buying a sim only? Does it not work out cheaper, to buy the handset offline, and have a sim only contact and buy a nano chip separately? if you buy it from the apple store do you have to pay vat? what is the cache?
