Warning To All (Used) iPhone Buyers -

please note that used iPhones have
become scarce in the market now (and in
some cases, more expensive) due to the
activation lock feature on ios 7
if u go to the market or u want to buy
iphone already running ios7 from anyone ,
it is not enough to check with your sim if
its locked or unlocked, or if u can see d
apps.
YOU MUST GO TO ICLOUD SETTINGS AND
BE SURE THAT FIND MY IPHONE IS OFF
BEFORE BUYING. If it is ON, tell the seller to
switch it off, if he cant switch if off for
whatever reason, DO NOT BUY!!!!!!
This is a must because once u buy and start
using the fone to browse without switching
off "find my iphone", d real owner (if it
was stolen or lost) will get a mail that the
phone has been found. he will now have
control over the iphone and can lock it with
his own chosen passcode which means u
wont be able to use d iphone.he can even
wipe the fone. At this point, it will be
difficult to return the iphone to the seller.
you wont be able to restore/upgrade from
itunes EXCEPT you turn off find my iphone.
if you force d restore using DFU mode, then
it becomes worse.before you can activate
the fone, u MUST enter the apple id and
password that enabled find my iphone
before the restore (that's d activation lock
feature). there is no way to bypass that for
now and your iphone will be sooooo
useless except u sell as parts.
So be careful.
this warning applies to mainly stolen
iphones, but u never know if d fone u
wanna buy here was stolen abroad.
i know some sellers will be mad at me now
but the truth must be told
