How to check if my iphone from ebay is stolen

hey people i have a question about how to check if my iphone from ebay is stolen?

I don't know why the above idiots even bothered to reply to your question man, I'm sorry that they were of no help.  There are several ways that you can check out whether a phone was stolen, the easiest is to call your carrier (ATT or whatever) and ask them, ask for the device ID, or ESN from the seller, and then give that number to the carrier, it is a very easy process.  Verizon for instance has an automated site,

Which works nicely
Above posters: Advising him not to use eBay, really?!?!  Call a lawyer?!?!  You have either too much money or too few brain cells, ebay is a reputable place to buy, and using paypal as an added layer of protection is an almost foolproof way to buy a phone online.  PayPal places money on hold while you receive and verify the condition of the device, so if they want to be paid, they won't defraud you, and if they do, you'll get your money back.

  • How can I protect my iphone from restoring if stolen?

    Hi I'm looking for a way to prevent or protect my iPhon/iPad from being restored after somebody stole them.... because my iPad wasn't exactly cheap I want to protect it as much as possible. I allready set up "find my ipad/iphone" but still can't stop thinking that someone could restore it to factory settings which would render it unfindable....

    How can I register my iPhone from the U.S. to Germany? Its a iPhone 3GS. The iPhone was purchased on Ebay.
    I can no longer use the Iphone?
    Please help me

    Don;'t know what you mean by "register".
    "I can no longer use the Iphone?"
    Don't know if you can use it or not.  You tell us.
    it is liklely carrier locked.  You would have to contact the carrier to which it is locked and ask if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.

  • How to change view in iPhone from vertical to horizon and vice versa?

    How to change view in iPhone from vertical to horizon and vice versa?

    Not all applications will go from Portrait to Landscape. Changing just requires you to turn the device. However, if you have the orientation lock activated, then it will not change to landscape. To check, look in the status bar and see if you can see a small lock shaped icon near the battery icon. If you do, then orientation lock is activated. To turn it off, swipe upwards from the bottom of the iPhone screen to bring up Control Center. The orientation lock is the last icon on the top row to the right. Tap on it to turn it off. White is on, black is off.

    Try another sim other than the one from your carrier
    The best test is where did you buy the iPhone
    The ONLY source of genuinely unlocked iPhones is direct from Apple
    Unless it came from an Apple Retail Store or their online store
    it is most likely locked to a carrier

    I'm sorry but I don't quite understand that. The lack of punctuation makes it very unclear.
    Please select the answer which best describes what you did:
    I ordered it from Apple.
    I ordered it from an authorized Apple reseller.
    I purchased it from a non-authorized seller.

  • How to check  if all values from a dataset  has come to  an internal table

    How to check  if all values from a dataset  has come to  an internal table ?

    Hi,
    After OPEN DATASET statement check if sy-subrc = 0 if its success then proceed with split statement and save the dataset values into a internal table and while debugging the internal table you will find that whether all values get into internal table.
    Checking sy-subrc after OPEN DATASET statement is must to fill up the values in the internal table.
    For e.g.
    OPEN DATASET p_inpfile FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        WRITE :/ 'No such input file' .
        EXIT.
      ELSE.
    READ DATASET p_inpfile INTO loc_string.
          IF sy-subrc NE 0.
            EXIT.
          ELSE.
            CLEAR loc2.
    *Spliting fields in the file-
            REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#' IN wa_string WITH ' '.
           SPLIT wa_string AT const INTO loc2-pernr
                                           loc2-werks
                                           loc2-persk 
                                           loc2-vdsk1.
    Hope you get some idea.

    how can i detach my iphone from my itunes (NOT from my apple ID)

    Hello Laurien123,
    Can you tell me a little more about your situation?  I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish.   You authorize your computer to sync or download iTunes; you associate your iPhone with your Apple ID, not with iTunes.
    Please reply if you can with a little more information, and I'll do what I can to help.
    Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201251
    Do I need to authorize my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
    No. You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you do need to associate your iOS devices with your Apple ID. Your iOS devices don’t use your available authorizations.
    Have a great day!
