Is it illeagal to sell a iphone clone?

ive recently bought a phone of gumtree and not knowing it was a clone at the time, i thought i was in luck. but as i tried to put my sim into it, that wouldnt work and when i tried to text on it, the screen was hardly picking up the movement in my finger. so i then rang the person who sold me it and they told me that i knew it was a repleca, which i didnt5 and now they wont give me my money back, any suggestions on how i cud get it back?

Why is this posted to the iPhone in the Enterprise forum or the Apple forums for?  This has nothing to do with Apple.
If you feel you were duped or taken advantage of, file a report with law enforcement.

    Well, no one here can help you. Contact whoever you purchased the phone from. If purchased from Apple, call AppleCare or the store where you purchased.

    It needs to be restored by someone. You can do it, and set it up as a new phone, or the buyer can do it.

  • Am I infringing copyright laws if I sell my  iphone with itunes apps???

    Hi all you iphone fans. (Im definitely one too!!)
    I have a question for you.
    I have been selling the iphone 1st generation on ebay for a couple of months.
    Ebay have taken my listings off saying I am infringing copyright laws by selling my iphones with apps and games on them. I definitely have No music or No videos on them. Only apps and games. All are free from itunes.
    Could an Apple representative please confirm if this is correct or not??
    I am a reputable type person and I certainly dont want to infringe any copy right laws. The apps I have on them are the free ones installed by itunes. That is why I am contacting Apple. I really want to do the right thing. If it is against apples copyright laws, I will wipe any apps off any 2nd hand iphones I sell in future.
    Any information you could help me with will be gratefully and cheerfully accepted. If Im in the wrong Im sorry and I wont do it again, but if these free apps are public domain and are free ware, can apple write to ebay or write me a letter on a letter head saying I can sell my iphones with their free apps??
    As a result of all of this...my 7 year account with ebay and my feedback of 584 positives with NO negs has just been suspended and they have made me a not a registered user over all of this. Its only a temporary suspension, but its still bad good will on their part. Im guilty until proven innocent!!
    Please help me do the right thing apple iphone lovers!! I will be SO grateful.
    Thanking you in advance.

    Snarky?
    Geez - please leave or check you being so overly sensitive at the door.

    Not I've been trying to sell my 1st generation iPhone on eBay so I can purchase an iPhone 3G. The way this was provided, I incorrectly read this was some profit making side venture for you.
    And since Apple never sold the first generation iPhone in Australia, is it safe to assume these iPhones you are trying to sell have been hacked to be unlocked for use with any provider's SIM card? If so, this is against Apple's license agreement for the iPhone (which is illegal if Apple wanted to pursue a legal remedy), is not supported by Apple, and voids the warranty.
    I just need some advice Mate.
    Which you were given Mate, but you seem to have focused on one sentence only that includes the word profiting with the advice provided.
    I suggest that you forget about including any free apps, which anyone that purchases an iPhone from you can download from the iTunes Store with their iTunes account (they are free after all), which if they sync the iPhone with iTunes - which 99.99% of people will do which is the only way to transfer their music to the iPhone, they will need to download the apps again - but under their iTunes account.

  • My friend is trying to sell his iPhone 5

    My friend wants to sell his iPhone 5 16GB, but he's forgotten his iTunes information and can't remove his phone from iTunes
    He rushed the set up of his iTunes account because he said he wouldn't need it (ha! wrong), as a result he has forgotten:
    - the email he used
    - password
    - security questions
    Pretty much everything, he wants to wipe the phone so he can re-sell it, is there away of removing his iTunes information?

  • If I sell my iphone, will my apps still be with my iTunes account?

    Hello, if I sell my iphone, will the purchased apps remain with my iTunes account?
    That would make sense to me, I just want to make sure.
    So if I get a new iphone, I can load those purchased apps on that new iphone, right?
    Thanks you!
