How to tell if a iPhone 4 I purchased is stolen?
I bought a iPhone 4 off a guy who said he was selling it for a friend.
This guy went to my secondary school.
I spoke to my mate and he said the way to tell if it is stolen is to put a sim card into the iPhone and see if it is blocked.
Is there any other way to tell if the iPhone is stolen? I don't have a sim card for it and I don't want to sell it on ebay if it's stolen, I'll report it to the police right away.

It only came with a charger
Maybe…
sometimes or well most of the times phones are usually registered to the account of the owner of it… Look at the provider of the phone and ask them if someone owns this phone… They will probably check the code in the phone and locate the owner.
Selling on behalf of a friend yeah right
Good luck
There's this thing called "paper" and long story short paperwork eg receipt
people and iphones instead of "buying" a pre-owned out of warranty iphone4 you should have invested your money in NEW***
BTW the Iphone 4 came out in 2010 and was the FIRST iphone to have camera flash! THIS PHONE WILL BE DROPPED IN 2013 WHEN THE IP6 IS RELEASED. (IP3 GS DROPPED 12/09/2012 on release of IP5)
*** eg CPW Samsung Galaxy ACE £90.00 and more versatile, comes with everything clean UNUSED, charger I don't know
So good luck as you do NOT have any means of proving ownership, so why buy it… Iphone LOL
You can't unfortunately!
- Why does my iPhone say 7 and not the iPhone 8 Plus that I purchased? I have a iPhone 8 Plus gold but every time I log into something I get an email that says iPhone 7 logged in. Is this a mistake? Or is it some kind of new update?
- Transfer purchased ringtone from iPhone to iPhone? I upgraded today from my 5s to a SE, and have already transferred all my apps, contacts, music, etc. But when I go into my settings to set the ringtone to the one I purchased through iTunes, it isn't there and it isn't listed in my purchases either. However, it's still listed in my purchases and tones on my old 5s, so I know I did buy it. How do I transfer it without buying it again?
- If I reset my iPhone, will I lose all of my purchased apps? If I reset it, will I lose all of them? Or can they be. Save on my apple account? (Ik I'll have to re-download them tho) thank you
- I have a stolen iPhone 5c but I didn't know it was stolen? I bought an iPhone and checked the imei and I found out it was stolen. I can't use it yet because it is stuck in the beginning where it says " please insert a sim card, SIM required" I just want to use it as an iPod since I got it for a good cheap price. It is a sprint phone, and also if I take it to Apple or Sprint will they take the phone away? I didn't know it was stolen and I don't want to get blamed or end up losing money. The iPhone was restored already.
