Is this a good idea? - 1

Should I get iPhones for someone that will be under my name for them to sell the iPhones to other people while they pay off all the phones? He's 18 but he still wants me to get the iPhones for him.

Bad idea.

Can't sell phones if paying for them in monthly installments. So you would have phones tied up in your name, and they can disappear and you will be stuck for the phones and the plans as well for the length og the contract.

No no no no no no no no

Let him get the iPhones himself. Do not put yourself in a position to be financially responsible for something that someone else "promises" to pay. You are setting yourself up to get screwed.

An idea that you think is smart and useful is "a good idea". You can use "good idea" in these ways: That's a good idea. Olivia had a good idea.

  • What do you do with a good iPhone app idea but no money? I thought of a brilliant iPhone app idea. This idea is potentially worth millions (Of course it would be a big project to get started). The problem is that I have no money to hire programmers, and I definitely can't make it by myself. Any advice?
  • Used iphone on ebay, good or bad idea? Thinking of buying a unlocked iphone on ebay. Is this a good idea? Will I have probs with activation? Can I use straight talk with it?
  • Is trading a PSP 1000 for an iphone 3g a good idea? I'm trading someone my PSP 1000 that no longer reads memory sticks for his old iphone 3g 8GB. I'm looking for something to use as an apple-style mp3 player. Would it be a good trade? With the PSP I'm giving him a carrying case, charger, and a few games because he bought me lunch. With the iPhone, he's giving me a hard case, a charger, and a pair of skullcandy lowriders. Would you consider this wise or should i give less?
  • Is this a good idea for a cheap way to get the iPhone 5? I just thought of this idea. I currently have an iPhone 4 and I want an iPhone 5. There are no upgrades until May and I can't take that one. Is a good idea to add a new line for 10 dollars, Cancel my other line for 175$, add data for 35$ and then buying the iPhone for 200$. That will equal a little over 400$ and then selling my phone for 150$.So all I really have to pay is around 250$. Do you think this will work or will it mess up my family's account plan. Any suggestions?
