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

Very informative

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

Pls help.

Last month, a friend was robbed in traffic in Lagos and was relieved of his iPhone in the process. He has his iCloud details but doesn’t know how to go about tracking the device. We tried FMI but it didn’t come up and when I logged in with my own iCloud details, it was correct to the T.

Buhari why naa

I am not fan of IPhone. I rep Samsung all the day!
