How to know if the iphone 5 I buy is stolen?
Can someone who is an expert help me because I'm about to buy an iphone 5 from someone face to face so I will get to examine the iphone 5 carefully and can someone please tell me how to identify if the phone is genuine and hasn't been stolen. Can someone also tell me how to identify if the imei number of the iphone is real and hasn't been tampered with because I have heard that people can tamper with the imei number and change it to a number that has a good history so please someone help me identify if the number originally belongs to the iphone that I'm about to buy.
Sorry, but I can't tell you about imei numbers, or be able to tell if the phone was stolen or not.
An iPhone for ATT or TMobile will have an IMEI. If the phone is for sprint or verizon, it will have an ESN. The only way to know if the phone is not banned or blacklisted is to do your transaction at a store or kiosk for the phone carrier.AT&T can't help with a Sprint phone…
If the phone doesn't come with everything that was in the box, and preferably the box too, it is suspect. If all there's, is a phone and nothing else, it is 100% stolen. Phone and just a car charger… Stolen. Phone and just a USB cable.stolen.
Do this at the proper phone store, not in a back alley.
- 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
- My iphone got stolen and i need to know a few things First off, I was told that you could call apple and they could completely turn off your phone so nobody could use it(as it in its features like camera, notes, etc.) Is this true and how do i do it? I already disconnected the service from my phone company. Second, is there anyway to bypass a lock code without restoring? This is why I want to turn off my iphone so they can't restore it.
- My cousin bro bought used iphone, he wants to know if its stolen? Shopkeeper says if he give him rs100 or £1 he can tell from website, but my bro asked me if he should provide his imei no to shopkeeper
