Why buy used phone? Most of them are stolen phones too. Wait till you can afford an iPhone. Don't get yourself into unnecessary trouble
This advice doesn't sound very mature,

The difference in price between a new IPhone and a used one is night and day..

Instead of castigating people on why they buy used phones,

Buying used items are part and parcel of every day life..

Like the OP said,

Advise them to make extra effort to ensure that it's not a stolen device..

Hello my fellow iPhone lovers,

I know how much you so want to lay your hands on the second hand iPhone since the brand new one is not pocket friendly in this economic brouhaha.

It will be disheartening to buy ur used iPhone and upon factory reset, you discover you can't login ur details to the icloud to complete set up.

These is what some guys are doing.

They will bypass activation lock whilst the device is still lock to previous users account. If you mistakenly format, or flashed such phone. It get locked to the previous account. In this case your icloud details will not open such phone cuz the previous owner was still registered on the iolcloud server and not yours.


So what you need to do befor buying your second hand iphone


1. Get the imei and run a check on either paid or free server to confirm FIND MY IPHONE (FMI) is off.

If FMI is On and on the phone there no icloud details in it. Buy such device at your own risk

If FMI is off, that's a good deal.

This warning also goes to my fellow software engineer. Befor you flash that iPhone, confirm the status of the FMI. Otherwise client may twist issues



Goodluck
rhe best advice would have bn to flash the phone before paying. A phone might be stolen and the person will lock so even if u check the Imei find my iphone will be showing off because the phone is currently offline and will kick in once the phone is connected to Internet. So the thing is to wipe and then connect to Internet and try login in to iCloud. Wiping iphone doesn’t take more than 3 minutes

Supposing your stolen iPhone has been sold to an innocent person who never knew it was stolen, how will you deal with that? You don't need to be hard or you complicate issues. If you find such a person, just use your IQ to find out how your phone got to him or who sold it to him before taking further action. It is an error of judgment to walk up to somebody and start hitting him because you see your phone on his hand. You may be charged for assault .

That's your business, Even the police has advised against buying used phones. I repeat what I said, wait till you can actually afford one. Don't rush to belong and mess yourself up. That's how an innocent young man is still in prison for kidnap and murder cos he bought a used ANDRIOD phone!!!!!

This should make FP instead of Regina Daniels stories
No way !

let's continue with the thread : Regina Daniel is 4months pregnant for her 59 years old politician.


Regina Daniel taking a selfie in a private jet

Regina Daniel on her way to Dubai for shopping

Regina Daniel's mum accepted to go for "omugo" when she gives birth

Regina Daniel is my 5th wife not 6th as speculated ~husband
we are enjoying the story instead of something informative

We've heard you,

Hope you also advise people not to buy used cars since it might just be a stolen vehicle,

They should just wait till they can buy a brand new Vehicle before daring to own one..

Hypocrisy is when you advise people not to buy used phones and wait till they can afford a new one and tomorrow you will go and pick up a brand new TOKUNBO car which might just have been stolen from the owner..
