    Not sure if this is in the correct thread(mods feel free to move)I'm thinking bout buying a 2nd hand phone, something i never did before as i always get free upgrades.
    Bascially what should i look out for, to protect myself from buying a stolen phone or a locked one?

    Well buying it from a respectable bricks and mortar shop or someone you know personally to be trustworthy. I certainly wouldn't be doing a deal with some lad in a pub, the side of the road or at the markets and expecting everything to be kosher.

    Make sure your sim works in it first ie it works with the network you are on.
