    I am looking to buy an iphone, a used one. I am looking on Adverts and other similar sites. I just want to know is there a way of checking the phone is stolen or was a bill phone, as i heard it can be blocked, before i purchase.

    imei.info doesn't always have the right info and some networks won't give you any information about the phone

    Hi,

    If I buy an iPhone 5 from someone who got it in the states, can it be unlocked to work over here? It'll be getting used on Meteor/eMobile. Supposed to be picking it up tomorrow evening.

    Thank you for replies in advance.
