Have any of you got a fake iphone off ebay?

Did you sue them? Did you still use it?

Added (1). It is a yes or no question not an essay

No I haven't bought one and nor would I recommend anyone to buy one.

There are copies of many popular well known phones that you can buy online or on eBay usually from China. You can get "copies" of the iPhone as well as other makes such as Samsung and LG.

The problems with most of these phones are they won't always work with UK SIM cards even though they are "unlocked".

In Europe we use 900 and 1800 MHZ bands whereas in China the most popular/common frequency band they use in mobile phones is known as 850 MHZ WCDMA and this is a frequency band we do not use in Europe at all.
So although the phone is "unlocked" and can accept a SIM from the UK (or anywhere in the World) the phones are normally not compatible with our frequency bands in order for them to be used for calls/messages or Internet usage.

This is why I would never buy one or encourage someone to buy one.

Nope nope and nope. But I did buy a mini Nokia Luna phone. Decent phone but screen resolution sh! T. I recommend. You don't get 1. Don't worry not writing an essay. If you do buy 1 and something goes wrong with it.It'll cost you more than the phone to send it back. Then they'll say "we no have we no have. When you send? When you send?" I've seen it happen
