Dnk Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Any recommendations where to buy a good second hand iphone 5 from ? It needs to be unlocked really, i have a cheap deal on EE, sim only but i'm tied to it for 10 months Seems to be dozens of places on the net/ebay so any good previous experiences would be welcomed Thanks edit: ive found this place, http://store.musicmagpie.co.uk/ they seem to have lots to choose from at pretty decent prices and 12 month warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 If it's from eBay and it doesn't work or as described then your be able to claim a refund. I haven't bought a phone from eBay though. But they should.all come factory reset by law as there used to be a game on a phone that the creator died and everyone was selling phones with this particular game on it for 100s of pounds over the phone price new. Sorry can't point you in a direction but eBay you should be OK another one to try is amazon. You could see a phone shop locally or try a wanted add on the forum for one?

Some providers do this free of charge, you may need a sim in it though to do this but they can confirm. An unlocked phone always commands more money.

Dnk Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 I actually have an iphone 5s but the previous owner failed to get it unlocked by vodafone, they tried twice. Ive had a local phone shop attempt to get it unlocked but 11 days later its still locked. I was really after a phone with some warranty as they appear to be fine 1 minute and scrap the next. I have an iphone 4 but thats pretty much on its last legs after having a new battery fitted, the repair shop say its a coincidence it started playing up after they fitted the battery hence i need a new phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunkmeyer Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Try CEX they are graded you can search on the website per store and go see it or mail order from them, unsure about warranty but will be std time frame to know it's useable and not a dog. Will do part x on other gadgets for higher value than cash sale too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
