How to know if iphone 4s is unlocked?
I'm buying an iphone 4s off someone from a buying page on facebook who lives about 20 minutes away from me. I don't know this person, so how can it be proven the iphone is unlocked?
Be smart… Meet the person in a mall food court… Wip out the phone… Do not pay him, you require proof… Pop in you sim card… If you get a sim error, then its not unlocked… Refuse the sale, use the money to buy some food, and walk away…
If you get no error… And iphone allows you to make a simple call home/friend/pizza hut/etc etc etc (forget about text/data at this time, we'll deal with that later), and the call goes through without no issues, then its unlocked… Pay the dude…
To reply your question briefly. Ask for the IMEI number of the phone and check if it is unlocked and also check that it is not blacklisted. Such a check costs around a dollar or so. Buy here
Have a SIM from 2 carriers ready. If it accepts both, then it is unlocked.
- People that buy iphones don't know anything about technology did you know that? Like my friend just brought iphone and I asked him if it has 4g late he said what's that? Then I asked how fast is the processor like 1.2 dual people buy them because its more mainstream and because their friends have iPhones Samsung is way better based on specs and technology the iPhone 4s and 4 processors are very slow
- IPhone 6s plus or 7 plus. I know the prices and what they do. But what I wanted to know is Did the 7 fix the home button problem? That s my main worry. I use my phone to text, check facebook, candy crush, look up info, and take the odd picture… Will I notice the difference between the two phones to be willing to pay more for the 7? Hoping for opinions for 6s plus and 7 plus from past of present owners.
- I talked with someone that works at at&t and she unlocked my iphone 5 for me. How do i know if its actally unlocked? Or how can I check? She said My phone was unlocked and I could use it with any carrier but how do I know if its actually unlocked
