I'm thinking about getting a phone. I like iPhone 5 and want to get one off craigslist?
Is it safe to buy phones on craigslist? What should i do with the phone after i purchase it?
You're taking a BIG risk by buying from Craigslist. There are people who sell stolen phones, which as you should know, are useless.
Of course, there are legit people who sell fully working phones, but you can never be sure.
My advice, if you decide to look on CL, is to meet at the carrier store that the phone is from. So, if you see an ad for a Verizon iPhone 5, meet at a Verizon store. Ask the people there if the phone is ready to be activated with that company. Best of luck. Umm sure it's safe. Lol hell no it isn't but sure try it out. Before you pay fully CHECK that the phone is working and not cracked. Put a case on the phone and get some contacts up in there even craigslist sais it is not safe to buy off craigslist. Its your risk. You need to bring it to the store of your provider and get a sim and a phone number and a plan Stay off Craigslist. Go here and look for one. http://buy.gazelle.com/buy/used/catalog/iphones They sell certified used phones and they are guaranteed. Or you can try Ebay but make sure the seller has excellent feedback and has sold at least 100 phones. Pay through Paypal and you will be safe. I sold my old iphones on craigslist and I can tell you those were great buys because mine were all in great condition. There's good info online as far as what to check for http://www.justtext.com/messageboards/20141222100947.html?y125 Most phones sold on CL are either stolen or counterfeit. If you can't meet the seller either at an Apple store or a phone carrier store to verify the phone is legit and not stolen AND transfer the account right there, then don't do the sale

- Thinking of getting a new device, what to do with old one? So I've had an iPod touch 3G for like a few years since my parents got it for me as a birthday present. But now that I got a job and earning money I've been thinking lately of getting an iPhone 5 or another more updated device since they are so much more faster and better! So I was thinking, what should I do with my outdated iPod touch 3G when I get a new device? Destroying it seems like a waste so what are something's I could do?
