How do you check if the replacement phone is a refurb or new one ?

Hi Guys
Can anyone tell me what does the Facotry code 70 stands for ? because I am getting a replacement phone and I see that the Serial number starts with 70.
when I checked in the below site.. its not giving me any information about whether refurbished or new one ?
http://www.chipmunk.nl/cgi-fast/applemodel.cgi
this is the serial they gave me....70116***A4S
BUt I am not able to find out the waranty status or anything about this phone.. Do I need to activate it first.. so that it gets reflected in Apple site and then I get details ??
My Earlier phone serial starts with 79 (this is manufacutred in china) am curious to know what does the factory code "70" stands for... hope this is not for refurbished.

As I said, you walk in and put an ultimatum to them and they will happily give you your money back. But they can't do anything about the ETF and won't try. That's for you to sort out with the carrier
And even if they refuse, you go ahead and try that consumer complaint. You aren't likely to get very far on that route. Because the first thing the Apple lawyers will do is ask for the paperwork from your appointment so they can see where you signed the bit about "I understand and accept the terms of service". They can't be held accountable for you signing something you didn't bother to read. But you can be held to the terms, which include the sources for replacements and the possibility of receiving a refurbished product. So again, the best you might get is your money back from Apple. But you will still be out the money from the carrier if you are under contract.
And yes it will most likely be your money and not a new phone. Why? Because Apple has millions of customers they don't need a douche acting one like you so they will happily pay you back your money and send you on your way.

    Warranty and Support are only valid in the country of origin.  You will need to take the device to whatever country it originally came from.
    Apple will not accept shipments from outside the country nor will they return it to an address outside the country.

  • Using PL/SQL Block how do you check if the character string value is aA-zZ

    I have a pl/sql block that I prompt the user for password and I load the string into an array and interrogate each index(entry) to see if it is "aA-zZ".
    How can I check if the value entered is Alpha.
    I need to do the same for number and Special character. Please advise. Thanks

    Thanks to All of you. The desired solution to verify complex password that enforces desired security policies. An example that I am using is the following:
    IF NOT (regexp_like(sz_complex_pw,'[[:digit:]]') AND regexp_like(sz_complex_pw,'[[:alpha:]]') AND regexp_like(sz_complex_pw,'[[:punct:]]') AND regexp_like(sz_complex_pw,'[[:upper:]]'))
    THEN
    --dbms_output.put_line('Password is not complex...');
    RAISE sz_err_pw_complex; -- Complex Password is not compliant
    END IF;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Complex Password is in Compliance...');

  • How do you check if the input is empty?

    Hello,
    I am asked to write a program which gets as input in the command line a number of strings, and is to print out the first of these string.
    but if the input is empty it must print our an error message.
    how do i check if the input is empty?
    i guessed
    public static void main (String[] args){
         if (args == null)
         ........but thats wrong.
    Thanks,
    iris

    If no arguments were passed, it means that there are zero arguments entered. So the args array will have a length of zero.

  • How can I exchange all the images in a slide show with new ones

    I have 18 slide shows each is a different competition for our camera club. How can I exchange all the images from each slide show with new images as our club competitions commence? I am reluctant to just delete the slide show because I will have set it all back up. I want to leave the size shape and format of the show as is, but just exchange all of the current images with new ones. I am hoping there is a quick way to delete and replace all images for each show? Each slide show has around 40 images and I have 18 shows
    thank you for your help

    1. Activate "thumbnails" in the configuration panel
    2. Select one Thumbnail.
    3. Rightclick and choose "Select same"
    4. Press "backspace"
    5. Open the configuration panel and load the new images.

  • How do you check if the attachment Link Bean is going to return "None" or .

    Hi to All,
    What attribute could i check if the attachmentLinkBean is going to return "Attachment List" or None?
    I've checked the TEXT_ATTR but it always return "Attachment List" no matter what. Hope to hear
    some opinion on this. Thanks in advance!
    Greg

    Greg,
    I am not sure you can get at that directly. However if what you want to do is determine if there are any attachments for the record, then you can setup a VO with bind parameters querying APPLSYS.FND_ATTACHED_DOCUMENTS passing the ENTITY_NAME, PK1_VALUE ... PK5_VALUE for that record and if you get zero records in the query, it was "NONE", otherwise you have attachments.
    Hope this helps.

    You should have transfered them to your computer.
    You buy only one download.
    If you are in the U.S. then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get the music

  • My old pc crashed.  How do I get all the songs from that pc to my new one?

    My old PC crash.  How do I get all the previous downloaded songs from the crashed PC to my new one?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    Certainly you did not reinstall your OS without making sure your backup copy was current.

  • How do i give a old i-phone back and get a new one cheaper

    I have old i-phone that doesn't work and i wanna take it apple and get a new one.
    What do i do?

    Apple doesn't buy back old iPhones or exchange for new...you can try selling on eBay or some other place as a non-working unit and see what you can get for it.  To get a lower price iPhone you usually have to buy with a contract for a carrier which locks you in for a period of time.

  • How do you transfer game data from an old Ipod to a new one?

    I am trying to transfer apps from an old Ipod to a new one.  World War and Call of Mini: Double Shot will not transfer the game data.  Any suggestions? I have backed up and restored via Icloud with no success.

    Well I don't think either game supports iCloud game data save. If they do it will be in the game settings. Best of luck. Cheers.

  • My iPod 4g broke on the bus today and broke completly. It will not work and I can't get it on. Part of it came up to where you can see the circut board. I need a new one or can i return it and get an iPhone 4S for free? I've had it for about 2 years now.

    it broke!

    I seriously doubt that Apple will accept your iPad for service/exchange since it sounds like it's a real basket case.  If they
    Do accept it, the cost would be 99USD, but if it is a 64Gb model it will cost 199USD.  The best thing for you to do is to take it into the nearest Apple store to see if they will accept it for repair/exchange.  I can tell you that they definitely will not give you an iPhone in exchange.

  • I have a fifth gen Ipod and have changed computers. I was not able to transfer all the music over when I created an itunes account on the new computer. How can I save all the songs on my ipod and upload new ones? It wants to sync with my new account.

    I have a fifth gen ipod classic. I switched computers and was not able to transfer the songs and pictures over. When I connect my ipod to the computer it wants to sync with it which would delete all my songs and music. Is there a way around this?
