Some Tips When Purchasing a Second-Hand iPhone

There could be a number of pitfalls involved when you are buying a second-hand iPhone. That’s why it is recommended that you take certain measures to make sure that you avoid those pitfalls.

Following are some tips you should follow when purchasing a second-hand iPhone:

  • Purchase from a Reputable Dealer: Rather than buying the second-hand iPhone cheap from eBay or Craigslist, it is recommended that you find a reputable second-hand dealer.
  • Check if the iPhone Works with the Carrier You Use: Most iPhones are locked to a specific carrier. That’s why you should make sure that the device you are going to purchase is not carrier locked.
  • Check Whether the Activation Lock is Disabled: If the Activation Lock is enabled on an iPhone, it cannot be used without providing the current password. That’s why you should always buy an iPhone with Activation Lock disabled.
