So if I live in the U.S. and buy an unlocked phone, will it work fine? and too add, I just have to insert my nano chip to the new phone?
just buy UNLOCKED PHONE, THEN YOU CAN CHECK THE IMEI # whether it’s black listed or not or under any contractual agreement !
Ayy, I bought an iPhone 8 with T-Mobile on eBay, am I Gucci? Because I already got a backup plan if I did get scammed but just wondering
Im thinking of getting the samsung galaxy s5 and ugrading the OS to android 6.0.
Im canadian
I lost $700 on a phone off ebay, i bought a note 10+ that was listed as open box, it lasted 3 months from bobcat wireless..
I ordered an iPhone 6s Plus on ebay. It came out okay i still use it
I heard carrier-branded phones work better if you’re on T-Mobile and you buy a T-Mobile phone it works better.
I got a phone off amazon it says its a company phone using verizon mdm how do i go about this
Yes, I bought iPhone 13 pro
Max and it happens to be black listed. Thanks to eBay I got my 1k back
After you buy a phone and put it on your account can it be black listed from the previous owner?
What if it’s eBay refurbished, is that safe?
PayPal covers you for six months, eBay is only 30 days. But people probably will wait and make payments on the phone that long then pull the insurance fraud. I currently have an AT&T iPhone 7 plus bought in 2017 on eBay that someone still hasn’t paid off. Didn’t get scammed on it because it still works but only on their network.
Just what I have been thinking iam after a pixel 5 there 600 quid brand new and you can get for 500 quid on ebay (barley used one week old keeping my old phone etc etc ) why on earth would you buy phone and not like it I think I will be waiting until they gey marked down in price and get a new one like I usually do
Thank you.
I think this is safe:
Google Pixel 2 XL
Carrier and Activation
This is a Fully Unlocked Device, Compatible with Verizon or any GSM Network. Works with AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Simple Mobile, H20, Net 10, Metro PCS & More. A Sim Card will be needed to activate this phone. This device can work with either an existing service or a new one. Phone works with any International Sim Card
What are the benefits of previous owner to claim months later that their phone is stolen months later? It sounds like the phones ARE stolen from jump. Get the IMEI and check with your carrier before purchasing.
anyone familiar with "overstock new" condition on ebay? it says it’s new but NOT sealed in original retail box, but it’s the next best thing.
I buy from apple
what if u buy it factory unlocked
I just get unlocked phones and there is a company that sells apple products and it’s called Smarter Phone.
I only buy 1to 2 year old phones on ebay that didn’t sell well because they were 800 bucks when they should of been 500. Those go for 100 to 150 I love ebay
Check on wiseseller on telegram for any kind of phone i got mine at low price
I Got a used iPhone X From Amazon Sellers and it came with Verizon Lock regarding the Sim Fix, I Haven’t been able to used the iPhone, till a friend recommended HACKINGTOOLSONLINE Page on IG, my iPhone Got Unlocked Successfully.
How do you find international phones on ebay?
What about Unlocked Phones I know Im late to the comments but what are your thoughts on this or even Amazon renewed or refurbished phones ?
lol
I’m abo uh t to get a unlocked phone on ebay so it’s a good thing I dont have any of those carriers because I’m get the s20 FE unlocked on ebay I hope I dont get scammed
You might not respond but is a gsm unlocked phone safe to buy?
Hey dude I need help I’m trying to buy a note 10 plus and please I need some tips
Can I use T mobile phones from Ebay in India.
Huawei is the best option. US do not allow Huawei from US carrier.
Good Day Sir. I would like to buy on amazon. A Samsung Note9…. Im from Philippines I hope you can help. And what are the phone that I can use here in the Philippines and put a phillipine Sim cards or sum cards. Please help me.Sir what are the type of phones that can be used here in Philippines??
Would Mobile Federation be considered as a scam?
What would be the reasons why the seller reported them as lost? Their benefits for them to blacklist the phones? Insurance theft coverage?
All Thanks To All Of you who recommended *HACKINGTOOLSONLINE* Page On Instagram, he got my iPhone With ACTIVATION LOCK deleted permanently..
I mean the easiest way to buy a carrier used phone is to tell them to meet up at the carrier and have the phone switched to your account so it can’t be reported stolen.
I just bought a20 phone and it was missing the sticker around the phone! What should I do?
Do you know playfone seller on eBay is it good I’m trying to buy a phone? 😭😭😭 someone help
What is the deal with unlocked phones? Are those safe to purchase?
I got scammed, the ebay listing for the note 9 was listed as new, unopened. The box was missing any seals, phone looked pristine but on closer examination, the battery had been through 550 charge cycles and despite the phone being black, it thought it was silver. So someone put the internals of an old note 9 into a new shell to palm it off as brand new.
what if the seller say it’s international but will send a carrier branded phone? will ebay check on this?
Don’t buy from ( excelic ) seller! They claim all their phones are New in sealed box, when in fact they’re badly refurbished phones in bad condition. Fake Samsung and other seals on box and missing items.
False Advertisement!
So you can still use it outside of us even if it gets locked
What if it says clean IMEI?
this was very helpful ! i am about to buy a used smartphone this video was a life saver!
Thank you so much. Now know what to do now
E bay used phone is good or bad
I’ve bought 7 phones from eBay, no issues so far, but they were really old phones like iPhone 3GS.
Thank you
i brought many phones on ebay and never had any issues. You just had to buy from seller with lots of ratings and that has return policy on the item, most will offer 30 days so if anything goes wrong you can return it. I did reviews of some of the phones I brought from eBay if anyone’s interesting in checking them out on how we can get used phones super cheap.
