I want to buy an iphone on craigslist?

I need one that can be unlocked or is already unlocked. Can any iphone be unlocked as long as the esn is good? I found one on craigslist for a good price and it said "ready to be unlocked".so how would i unlock it? Can i take it to any of those little cellphone stores? And how much would it be?

No! Don't buy it. It is illegal to unlock an iPhone yourself in the United States. Unfortunately, you'll have to purchase the unlocked model directly from Apple. For the iPhone 5, the cost is $649 (or $199 with Verizon/AT&T).It is $549 for the unlocked iPhone 4S, or $99 with a cell phone provider). The iPhone 4 is $450 unlocked or $0 (FREE) if you go with Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T. I hope this helps, as both my sister and I are service representatives for Verizon.

  • What should I watch out for if I want to buy an iPhone 6 plus from Craigslist? Some say no service and others say no sim. Some are about 150 or something like that and others 500 something. Please let me know what to watch out for and how I can prevent getting a fake one.
  • Should i buy an iphone on craigslist? So i wanna get my mom an iphone 4 for xmas but I'm afraid she'll lose it so i wanna get her a cheap iphone worth $250 but I'm scared maybe its stolen or a scam. I have never bought anything for that site before n i don't wanna get her a new phone cuz she doesn't want a plan, we just do prepaid. So what do/can i do?
  • Should I buy an Iphone 5 of gumtree or craigslist? There's a 16gb one for £110 from gumtree and a 64gb one for £280, its cheap but it still seems a little bit shady so i'm not too sure? Is it worth it or will i probably get a faulty phone or scammed?
  • Should I buy an Iphone 5 from craigslist? There's a 64gb iphone 5 that says its new, only been taken out the box for testing? Now its only £280 which is cheap how they are normally around £700 but thats the thing, i'm afraid its too cheap. So is it too good to be true probably meaning that its faulty, stolen, something like that. So should i get this or not, is it worth it?
