Hi all.

My girlfriend recently upgraded to an iPhone 5 and wants to try and sell her iPhone 4.

She is with Vodafone on contract so the iPhone 4 is Vodafone.

My question is, if she sells it to someone, will they be able to use it with their own number with no issues eg will there be any problems with another person adding their sim to it considering it was a bill phone?

Obviously she would be reluctant to sell it to someone if this could be an issue.

Cheers!

Request the unlock from Vodafone and it will sell for a considerable amount more

Not that easy with iPhones as you need the baseband unlocked too make it sim free

You do know that iPhones aren't the only phones with a baseband chip.

Like other said it will work with any vodafone sim. You can also ask vodafone to unlock it so it can be used on all networks, this is usually free if you were on bill-pay: https://support.vodafone.ie/system/selfservice.controller?CMD=VIEW_ARTICLE&CURRENT_CMD=DFAQ&allArticleIds=2038%2C2037%2C392306%2C757179%2C757180%2C757181%2C757182%2C757183%2C757184%2C757185%2C757186%2C757187%2C757188%2C757189%2C757190%2C757191%2C757192%2C757193%2C757194%2C757195%2C757196%2C889768&basicOrAdvanced=basic&SIDE_LINK_TOPIC_ID=&SIDE_LINK_SUB_TOPIC_ID=38431&SIDE_LINK_TOPIC_INDEX=&SIDE_LINK_SUB_TOPIC_INDEX=&userInput=&isSortingReq=0&sortOrder=&sortOn=&nextPageNo=&currPageNo=1&totalPages=1&USEFUL_ITEMS_FRAME_TITLE=&COUNTRY=ie&LANGUAGE=en&ARTICLE_ID=2038&CONFIGURATION=1003&PARTITION_ID=1&EXPANDED_TOPIC_TREE_NODES=+38431+38424+&USERTYPE=1
Also erase all contents and settings before you give/sell it to someone else.

Stick to the OP's thread, this is about iPhones, you do know that, don't you?
