    so im thinking of buying 2nd hand iphone 4s off adverts.ie. we have agreed on the price and the phone still has 6 months warranty left. the buyer has 100% feedback and has sold 4 other iphones along with alot of computers. there is no box included so i was wondering how do i prove the warranty and if something was to go wrong what would i do.
    should i be worrying or what should i look for if i meet up to buy the iphone
    thanks in advance

    Is the iPhone sim free or locked to a network? if its locked ask him to put in an unlock request

    its locked to three and he said he cant unlock it so i was wondering why? does that mean that because he isnt the account holder or could be stolen?
    if i have the EMEI does that mean when i buy it i can contact three and tell them this so it cant be blacklisted or reported stolen?
    thanks very much for the help so far

    Tell him you will meet him in a Three shop to register the IMEI in your name/account. Once the IMEI is registered in your name / account, you will hand over the cash.
    Otherwise, he can just take the money, and report it afterwards as stolen.

    If he has any issues with this, walk away.

    so if i was to meet him in 3 and register the EMIE onto my account and i would be PAYG does that mean that it cannot be reported stolen or blacklisted or it still can? he has now cancelled my offer which i only offered last night and asked him a few questions since so maybe i should just leave it at that :o
    what do ye think
    thanks again
