Selling my water damaged iPhone 5?
I put my old water damaged iphone on ebay because I was surprised at how much they went for. I got a message from someone asking if it was iCloud "unlocked" and if I didn't know, to send him the IMEI. So I wasn't sure if it was unlocked or not and sent him the IMEI. He messaged me back telling me it WAS unlocked. Before I put it on ebay, I signed out of iCloud and restored the phone (because it will still turn on if you mess with it for a while.) I asked him how he knew if it was unlocked from the IMEI and he told me he had a friend at apple. Considering I'm pretty much trusting him fully on this, my question is if it is NOT unlocked, can he get any of my personal information? He bought the phone for $200. For the record, it's been sitting in my room for about 9 months now and I used an upgrade to get a new iPhone immediately after it got water damaged.
If you clear it out the right way, by going through the factory reset process that removes all settings and date, your information will be as erased as it can be. He should't be able to access anything. I think he just wanted to be sure he'll be able to access the phone, that is, he's not buying a stolen iPhone that's been locked because someone erased the data remotely using iCloud. You should be fine with this transaction, as should he. Hope that helps!
- Which is better: selling on amazon or selling on ebay? I have an individual seller account and I've noticed that my products sell much faster or ebay. However, I sold two iphones. My final sale fee $1100. However, ebay charged me a final sale fee of $135 Then I was charged $40 by paypal Then I paid $60 total to ship both items. On my amazon account I sold 1 phone. The phone cost $180 Amazon took out $30 Shipping cost $10 So I made $140
- Water damaged iphone (insurance claim)? I filed a claim with Asurion through verizon, I was required to pay 169$ for a replacement phone. the problem is that troubles me is that the only problem with the phone is that after it dropped in the water, the screen has a drip mark that won't go away, it won't turn off and there are some tones that don't play.other than that it works fine. what I'm asking is if the claim is still legitamate. It's still noticeable damage, but is it claim worthy noticeable damage?
- Water damaged IPhone 4s. Is there hope? Today I idiotically fell into a pool with my iPhone in my pocket. It was submerged for about three seconds and afterward there was no display but it would still vibrate at messages and calls. I shook the water out of it immediately but I couldn't get it in rice for about 20 mins. I took out thr sim card and managed to turn off my phone and I'll let it sit in the rice for 24-48 hours. Is this just a lost cause or is there actually hope in me reviving my "child"
