Buying iPhone 4 off of eBay? - 1
I'm buying an iPhone 4 of off eBay for my boyfriend. He has t-mobile so the phone has to be unlocked for him to use his sim card. Do I have to worry about a 'clean ESN' when it's for t-mobile & he's using a sim card? Plus it'll be unlocked?
It must be a clean esn no matter.
The number is tied to a national database of stolen phones. Stolen phones can't be activated
It is a good ides to buy his phone OFF eBay. Somplace local such as Craigslist where you can take it to t-mobile before you pay
The sim card will probably need replaced anyway if changing model of the phone.
You can only use a unlocked att iphone 4 on tmobile. Its the only one that takes a sim card.
- 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$.

- Can i trust ebay when buying an iPhone? I heard craglists is not as reliable as ebay so i just want to make sure that is true. Or should I got for craigslist? The one on ebay is about 40 bucks more but that is because it was refurbished. I'm getting the 3gs if anyone was wondering. Also are refurbished products good? I want to make sure I do not waste my money. Also the person I would be buying from ebay has a top rated seller award with fast shipping etc. Can i trust it?
