Yup only on Wi-Fi though cause you won't be able to activate it since it has bad ESN

You can use it just like an ipod touch over Wi-Fi (apps, music, imessage, facetime etc), but you can't make cellular calls or anything like that.

Yes. The bad ESN means that it can't be activated on a carrier.
Honestly, I wouldn't buy a phone like that. It's most likely stolen…

Sure, you can. You can even use the phone again with other carriers. If you need more info, feel free to mail me.

I you could play any games, since they generally need Wi-Fi only (many don't even need that.) If your are a smart phone user, install Number one protected application, LEO Privacy Guard. Its free available in both iTunes for iPhone, and android's playstore, the best security app

  • What really is a bad ESN? Does my situation mean I have one on my IPhone? Do I have a bad ESN? I fully own my phone. I got it through sprint free when I signed up for my plan and we also got a Note 3 for 100 bucks (we paid it upfront ) on the same plan. But we left our provider for AT&T. We did not pay our final bill yet but there's no charges at all for our phones on the bill. So if we fully own our phones, but did not pay the final bill yet (and is way past due in a collection agency… Unfortunately… ), do we have bad ESNs?
  • 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?

  • Should i buy a bad esn iphone and use it with gsm carrier? I wanna buy myself an iphone 4s from ebay. I live in bosnia and we only have GSM carriers. I noticed that verizon or sprint "bad esn" iphones are much cheaper so, should i buy that phone and unlock it to my network or should i gather more money and buy myself a new factory unlocked one?
