Anonymous · ‎28-10-2015

hi, i have purchased a iphone 6s from ebay, the guy says it is an unwanted upgrade from 02 ,sealed box, and unlocked , i would like to if this sounds right? or will it be locked to 02.

many thanks for any help

thank you for all your advise it's v m appreciated he has offered to request 02 unlock then restore to factory settings before sending, so he would need to open the box, but i'm thinking now as advised on here if he does that and then doesnt pay the bill 6 months down the line maybe the phone could be blocked then?

maybe another option would be me getting a 02 sim only contract?

O2 won't unlock it for 6 months either.

That^^^

That phone will be locked to O2 for the near future.

I would still walk away if honest.. The seller obviously has no idea of the policy on unlocking a new iPhone and sounds desperate for the sale

Buy from somewhere reputable, such as CEX, Amazon but not ebay !

got a refund

thanks for all your advise, staying clear of ebay, will buy from argos/Tesco/currys/amazon/reputable company for peace of mind. £414 was a good price for 64g 6s but like you say too risky and too many complications

Have a look at giffgaff phones too.
All sim free and you can pay monthly too.

remember if you buy from amazon only buy from them direct not market place unless its a company as thats just the same as eBay
I bought a watch which turned out to have a manufacturing fault amazon were great but i made sure it was bought from them direct.
The giffgaff ones can often be priced very competitively through not the price you were looking at but that was too good to be true. The are in and out of stock so you'd need to keep sharp eye out.
