If i have a second hand iphone can i use it on pay as you go?

My friend says i can have his iphone when his contract runs out, but i don't want a contract i only use pay as you go so will i be able to do this on the phone or not. (i know it won't give me internet and stuff but i don't midn) thanks

Any phone can be on contract or pay as you go, it just depends on what sim you use. For example, i have an iPhone on contract, if i was to take my sim card out and give it you my phone, you would then put your pay as you go sim card in the phone and it would then become pay as you go. And then, say you wanted to change to contract, you'd go and set one up at the phone shop and then you'd change the sim card to a contract sim.

So when your friends contract ends, he'll be able to upgrade/cancel that contract and put his sim in a different phone, so then you can put your pay as you go sim in his old phone and it will work like any other pay as you go phone.

Yes you can use it on PAYG.

Yes aslong as your on the network that the iphone is locked to

  • When apple give you a new iphone for free is it second hand? - 1 I recently figured that my iphone 5 had faults such as the camera was cracked from the inside so i went to apple and because I was on warranty the gave me a new free iphone, but the phone they gave me has many small scratches on its frame and a few dints. So do you think it's not new and if so is there anyway I can convince them to give me an actual new on (btw I'm still on warranty)

  • If you pay monthly for a phone is there anything else you have to pay? For Christmas I want an iPhone 8+ and pay it monthly. I would buy it from something like Verizon, us cellular, att, and others. Would I have to pay any other fees? Say it was like $23.50 a month for 24 months. Would I have to pay anything else after 24 months?
  • I bought a second hand iPhone, how do I unlock it and use it? I'm talking about unlocking it for use on any carrier. I'm happy to have it, just don't know how to get rid of the AT&T stuff and put it back to basics before I use it with my current provider.
