Does a clean ESN matter with an unlocked iPhone?
I'm interested in an iphone 4s that I found on ebay. It says its unlocked but does not state if the ESN is clean or not. Since I'm using it under a net10 contract, would it matter if the ESN was bad? How can I tell if it is? I just really want to make sure before spending my money on a phone that I can't even use!
All phones must have a clean ESN/IMEI.
A phone with a bad ESN/IMEI will not be able to be activated.
Why would you buy something with bad ESN? May be the phone is GSM and doesn't have ESN. But make sure before you buy.
- What information do I need to check if a verizon iPhone 4 has a clean esn? I'm thinking about buying a sprint iPhone 4 from craigslist, and I was wondering what information I would need on the phone to call up sprint and have them check whether or not it has a clean esn, or how I would go about finding out before I buy it.
- What does Clean ESN, ready for activation on swappa or ebay mean? I'm about to buy an iPhone that's new and also listed as Clean ESN, ready for activation. I know that means i can activate it with the carrier its locked to which is AT&T but can i use online unlocking service like iunlockpro or any another one to unlock it so that i can use it with any GSM? Or is this only for the carrier its locked to since it new? thanks. the carrier is Sprint not AT&T

- IPhone with CLEAN ESN as an iPod? Hi, I have an opportunity to buy an iPhone 4S claimed to have a CLEAN ESN. It's on a different network than I'm, but I mainly want to use it as an iPod. Can I just use it as an iPod with a clean ESN, because I know you can with a bad one, just need a clarification.
