Iphone 4s 16Gb model MD239ZA - product that has been replaced

Hi all Brothers,
Today i buy an Iphone 4s 16Gb model MD239ZA (Sin) from a VietNam mobile store, I'm not sure about this case :
When I check the serial number on our apple site support, they showed that :
We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us.
Finding your serial number is easy. See how.
IMEI number checking is also, i dont know this problem and how to resolve it
Is this result said that I was tricked ? Pls give me some advice, actually now I am very confused.
Thank bros

Sorry, but there's nothing anyone here can do to help you. You'll need to go back to the dealer from whom you purchased the iPhone. If they cannot or will not help you, if if the dealer is an authorized Vinaphone or Viettel outlet, it's possible that the carrier can help if you contact them. If, however, the store you purchased from was not an authorized outlet for those carriers, then you purchased from an unauthorized dealer and no one other than that reseller can help you. You quite possibly purchased an iPhone that was stolen or returned as defective and then illegally resold.
Good luck with the dealer; you'll need it, I fear.
Regards.

    Thank you.

  • When entering my phone serial number it shows "We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us."

    Hi,
    I had purchased an iPhone 5 last month and got the OS updated to iOS 7, yesterday.
    The data cable was of very bad quality and when I took it to the retailer for replacement, they said that its not covered under the one year warranty.
    Secondly, I have also been experiencing network coverage issues with this phone. So, I decided to contact apple care through the web. When entering my serial number/IMEI it says, "We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us."
    Does anybody have any idea what the reason behind this could be.
    - First time with iPhone and frustrated.

    If you purchased the iPhone from Apple or an authorized Apple reseller,
    contact them for assistance. If you purchased elsewhere, go back
    to that retailer and get them to give you a new iPhone or your money
    back.
    If you have checked the serial number carefully and re-entered it
    and that gave you the same error message, contact Apple if purchased
    from Apple or authorized retailer; otherwise you have been scammed
    and need to pursue the matter with the business you obtained the
    iPhone from.

    i am going to buy iphone 5 32 gb from some before i bought i check the serial number of that iphone on apple web site to cross check but massage is appering that ......'

    can any one tell me what is that mean..... replace what ?

    In most cases, what you said is true...however, this is not always the case.  Take myself for example...
    1: I posted my phone online to sell
    2: Someone saw my serial number and called AppleCare to get a replacement phone
    3: An inferior AppleCare representative bypassed a component validation (check serial number to the device on hand) and approved the replacement under my AppleCare plan.
    4:  After noticing this (about 4 days after it happened) and  a trip to Apple and a call to AppleCare, all was resolved.  My phone is back to being covered under AppleCare+
    5:  I learned my lesson.
    So, as you can see, there is a chance that it can be something else.  Although, if the person selling the phone notices, it shouldn't take long to resolve it. Chances are that it is what you said.
    Hope this helps

    You are not speaking to Apple. This is a user forum.
    If it's possible, return the phone and get your money back.
    You bought a gray market phone that was reported lost or stolen or was already replaced by Apple and was re-sold illegally.
    It has no warranty.

  • I am getting a message. What does it means "We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. "

    I have tried getting service support information from Apple Support Service. When entered my serial no. got this
    I am getting a message."We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. "

    Well, when you purchase from a non-official source you run the risk of getting who knows what from wherever. It appears this phone was replaced under warranty at some point, but not returned to Apple for refurbishment. Thus, the SN is no longer valid for warranty & service. If you can return it and get your money back, I'd suggest you do so.

  • HT4061 What does it mean This is an imei number for a product  that has been replaced!

    What does it mean
    This is an imei number for a product
    that has been replaced?

    What carrier did you buy it from? Are they on this list? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If they are on that list and you have the original receipt from them showing the serial number, they may be able to correct the error in the Apple database.
    If they're not on that list, you were sold a black market phone.

  • Removing DVR from list that has been replaced

    Hello,
    I recently swapped out a set top box with a DVR that was failing. The set top box and DVR both work, but note that the prior unit still shows up in my list of available DVRs. How do I remove the prior device from my list or account?
    I do not see any options to delete the unit in settings or account areas on FIOS account.
    Thank you for any insight!

    It just takes a bit of time after it has been returned to be removed from your account.
    Just double-check bill to make sure you aren't being charged for it.

  • Continuous issues with iphone4 that has been replaced 3 times now!

    ok, hello all, I have been experiencing numerous problem with my iphon 4 since I first got one about a year ago
    - the top button broke, apple replaced it
    - 2 weeks later, the home button broke, apple replaced it again
    - a few months later the top button broke again and apple replaced the phone....for a third time about a week ago
    - just yesterday the silence mode button broke and itunes hasn't been able to "recognize" the iphone since I got it
    I really don't know what to do as I'm fed up with all of these issues
    has anyone ever faced such repeated issues with the iphone 4? is there anyway apple with swap the model phone as I really don't want to replace it again since I've had nothing but problems with it
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    Thanks for your response!
    I definitely understand and after the second button broke, I thought that maybe I was somehow mistreeating the phone or something like that.
    Since, I've done my best to be extremely careful with it (protective case, touching all of the button gently, etc.) I've never dropped it or anything and am very careful when I put it in my bag. If it is a user error, I have no problem with this but I just don't know where it could be coming from...

  • Does Applecare Protection cover MBPr display that has been replaced previously under original 12mo warranty?

    I purchased my MBPr a little under a year ago and am contemplating buying the applecare protection plan to cover me for the next 2 years. The main reason for this is that I needed to have the original display replaced ~5 months ago due to image ghosting issues (LG original, Samsung replacement). My confusion comes when I look at what Apple categorizes under Hardware Coverage...from the Store website (link below), the last bullet point states "Apple display purchased with your Mac."
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/APPLECAREMBP-102583/applecare-protection-plan- for-macbook-pro
    Does this mean that since it's a replacement display that it would not be covered under the protection plan? That notion seems shady and ridiculous to me, but I wanted to make sure before I go and spend even more money on this machine.
    Any advice would be appreciated...thanks!

    As long as the replacement was done by Apple, or an Apple Authorized Service Center, then your remaining warranty continues and includes the replacement part.  Any work performed under your warranty means your warranty remains fully intact, and it then covers the replacement parts and repairs.

  • How do you find a file that has been replaced?

    I might have accidentally replaced a word file with the same name from something else, and now I can't find the original. Is the original gone for good or is there some place else that I can check? It is a school paper and I am freaking out it is due the end of this week.

    He meant, do you have a system backup via Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner, etc.?  That's the shortest way to restore your complete system and data when (not if) your hard drive dies.
    Have a nice day.
