HT1349 Is it ok to give my iPhone 4 serial number to a stranger?

I want to sell my iPhone 4.
But this guy is asking for the serial number.
Can he do anything with the serial number, for example activate the phone to his account. Then claim it for stolen?
Also can he do different things with the serial number?
Thank you.

He can verify the warranty status with the serial number at

  • Is it safe to give someone your iPhone serial number, when you want to sell the phone.... So they can 'verify' it?

    Probably safer than giving them the IMEI number.
    Just use a buyback service like Glyde or Gazelle.

    No! Apple is not law enforcement and therefore does not have personal investigating lost or stolen property other than Apple's own.
    Even if they had the information data protection laws would prevent them from giving it to you or anybody else including law enforcement.

    I didn't cancel anything yet, since I know the phone wasn't stolen and isn't being used.   I do have the unlimited data.  Think I will try to find something used to get me through until I can make a decision on whether to get the new Iphone 5 or see if I can find get the Iphone 4s at discount after Iphone 5 is released. 
    I guess it comes down to just how valuable unlimited data is for you!  As others have said, you cannot put a basic phone on the line for now.  So you either need a smartphone or do nothing, (which means no phone and still paying for service) to keep unlimited.   And then of course you would have to buy the iPhone 5 at full price if you go that route.
    Otherwise you can just get a basic phone for now, drop the data plan, and then at upgrade time get a subsidized smart phone on a tiered data plan.   I know it is hard to give up unlimited, I upgraded at full price last month to do this, but am not sure how good a decision that was!  The real unknown is how long we can keep it anyway......
    Edit: in your original post you refer to a SIM card.  AFAIK, the X2 doesn't have one so that shouldn't be an issue.

  • How to get the iphone serial number  in application?

    hello,  everyone
       i  really want to konw how to get the iphone serial number in aplication ?  As it's different from uniqueIdentifier ....
    thank you

    Michele is correct - sneep will help you get the serial from the running domain on the M3000 ,
    and it is a good idea to install STB on your machines.
    If that isn't possible for you, then sneep can be downloaded directly from [http://www.sun.com/sneep]
    I believe that on this platform, sneep gets the serial from the output of prtconf.
    There is a minor correction to be made :
    After installed SNEEP use "man sneep" for all technical details.The sneep man page is not linked into the shared man pages, so you need to use
    man -M /opt/SUNWsneep/man sneep
    with out going to OK prompt (Banner)It is worth noting that the serial shown in the OBP banner is not the product serial
    that you will find on the physical serial tag.
    The banner "serial" is the decimal equivalent of the host ID, which you normally get in hexadecimal from the "hostid" command.

  • Can Apple Retrieve A Stolen iPod If I Give Them My Serial Number Of My iPod

    My car was broken into and they took my iPod and I someone told me that I could give Apple the serial number of my stolen iPod and they could see where it was last used.
    Is this true?
    If so then how do I go about telling Apple about my problem?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Apple have no process in place to either report or track stolen iPods. All you can do is report the theft to the Police together with the serial number, and if your iPod was registered with Apple when you first got it, they will assist the Police in returning it to you should it ever be recovered.

    root@sunfire2# sneepThat only works if ...
    1) you know about SNEEP
    2) you hardware is compatible
    3) you install it and configure it properly
    The answer to your original quetion is:
    No, there is nothing already in Solaris 9 that lets you type a command and get a serial number.

  • Identit-E has verified and approved my student status but won't give me a serial number

    Identit -E has verified and approved my student status for the product I purchased (lightroom 4) but after two days, still has not given me a serial number so that I can use the product.  They say that it is due to a technical issue, but won't tell me when this issue will be resolved.  My 30 day trial expires in two days and I really need to be able to use the product that I purchased but won't be able to until Identit-E gives me a serial number.  Adobe customer service wasn't any help, they wouldn't even work with me to extend the trial period while I am waiting on their own vender to fix their problem.  Anyone else having this sort of problem? 

    Just as an added note, I have tried using the elgibility verification service a few times, have chatted on live chat with identit-e a few times and have sent emails to identit-e a few times as well.  I just want to use my product and am so surprised and disappointed that Adobe can't seem to fix this issue or help me out. 

  • Is your iPhone serial number linked to your appleID?

    My iPhone 4s was stolen on wednesday, and with the insurance looking like they're not going to pay out, due to a 7 day lapse of cover after you update your phone (pathetic i know), I was wondering whether your iPhone serial number is;
    a) able to be changed by the thieves.
    b) linked to appleID.
    I'm wondering if someone tries to create a new ID with my serial number, whether it would report to apple, or alert me perhaps?
    Completely lost without my phone had only had it for 3 weeks.

    no it's not linked to appleID
    but if you report the IMEI to the police they get all phone companies to block the phone from being used
    at least they do where I live
