If a CDMA iphone has a bad esn, it can't be flashed to any CDMA carrier on EARTH! And since there's no hack for the Apple lock on USA GSM carriers, well… Its not a very expensive Ipod touch… Lmao
Of course not. Bad ESN = Bad ESN
- What does it mean if an iPhone has a bad ESN and can I buy it? My iPhone 5s was stolen and Verizon as usual is not taking any pity from anyone nor would they offer me a replacement at a discount so if I want the replacement I would have to buy it at full price. I looked online on ebay and saw some iPhone 5s that were really cheap selling but when I look it says bad ESN. I read somewhere that you can't activate this with your provider is that is the case. Is this true and what exactly is bad ESN on an iPhone?
- Verizon iPhone 5 comes gsm unlocked so if the esn is bad can you still use gsm? I was wondering sense the iPhone 5 for Verizon come GSM unlocked, if the ESN is bad can it still be used with GSM networks? Please let me know thanks
- If I flash a bad ESN iPhone 4 to cricket will I be able to fully use the phone? Thinking of buying a iPhone but can only find bad ESN ones. Does it matter? My carrier is Cricket so I was just going to buy the phone and flash it. Will I be able to use the phone like an iPhone should be used?
- Does a bad esn in America still be a bad esn in places such as Canada? If I buy an iPhone with a bad esn I know it just basically an iPod but will the bad esn (Sprint) be followed when its shipped to Canada and would I be able to use it with a different carrier since there's no sprint in Canada?
