I have for sale my iphone 5 on orange, brand new. It still with front and back protectors fitted from apple. The charger is used.

Looking for £350

I also have a used iphone 5 on 3 network. It has a couple of marks on it but nothing major (pics can be sent) still under warranty.

Looking for £320

COntact number is 07563236357

 

Is the brand new a contract or bought out right ?

 

It was bought outright 5 months ago i had an issue with it so apple replaced it with a brand new handset this week thanks.

 

Never on the right network!

 

tell me about it lol, it seems everyone interested wants o2

 

I'd disagree, I've been with Three for years, I always have a strong 3G signal and Internet is unlimited and faster than my home broadband. Never have to ring customer service either.

Not got a bad word to say about them

 

Pay orange 20 quid to unlock it then, then I'm sure it will be more desirable unlocked

 

id rather just sell tbh and im sure it takes upto 4 weeks to unlock.

BM08 i agree with you but potential buyers all seem to be asking for o2

 

If the phones are from Apple, then it doesn't matter what networks they are currently on, as Apple handsets aren't locked.

 

They are locked to the first network which is used unfortunately

 

Not if they are from Apple they aren't. My iPhone is from Apple, has been used on O2, Vodafone and currently Three.

 

^ Thrush is correct. If bought direct from Apple they will be permanently unlocked. This is because they are not subject to a network subsidy, as you are effectively buying direct from the manufacturer, instead of through a 3rd party ie a network or independent retailer.

cheeRS

 

Do you have an iphone 5 also? i know this is the case with a 4 or 4s

 

I do, yes

 

go on then, i'll take it if you are struggling to flog it

 

What's the colour, spec on the orange one and where are you ?

Cheers Alex

 

you have pm

 

i have only advertised it on here lol, ebay it will be if its still here tomorrow

 

Probably for the first time ever I agree with you!!!! 3 is the BEST network I've ever been with, their 3G coverage is awesome.

And as the long haired southern cunt said, if you buy a phone direct from Apple it's unlocked forever!

 

so you can garntee it's direct from apple and will be unlocked to any network?

is that £320 posted and insured?

 

Yes its 320 posted and insured for the 3 handset. However it is not unlocked as i have tried o2 in this handset and it doesnt accept it. The orange handset is the same, only accepts orange.

 

Bugger

 

Any change on price in light of the revised information, only just shy of a new sealed one on orange

 

Wouldn't have minded if it was not locked, but as it is and I don't want to take the risk of shelling out if I can't unlock it, what does orange do? Is it that ee thing now?

 

Are they both 16gb

 

both 16gb make an offer guys

 

How much is a new sealed one on orange ? cheapest im seeing is £495 from the shop

 

Any serious offers ? need to go guys

 

they are network locked mate which is the issue

i've got the money sat here waiting to burn a hole in my pocket but i'm reluctant to spend it on something which may need more spending on it

 

Orange handset 320 posted and 3 handset 290 posted

Both will be first class and insured.

Both handsets still under warranty.

 

Where are you located? I am on Three, it is great except I get no signal in my village

 

£320 not a bad price, good price it is, but apple will not unlock it, orange severs have been down past 7 months, only 1 way to unlock it is from the original owner he or she will have to ring orange up and orange will charge about £20 and u will have to use the iPhone with the that contract sim inside for 3 months so orange knows your using the phone, after 3 months are over then they will unlock it but again this only applies to the the first owner of that iPhone In which the contract belongs too. Thats the down fall part only to it.

 

based in birmingham thanks

 

Yeah it is a bit of a pain, hopefully someone will want it who is on orange, i think the price is cheap considering shop prices, maybe have to just try them on ebay

 

It's cheap at that price 320

 

Three will unlock it for £20, i know this as i did one last year. However you would have to be an existing customer or if the seller has a Three contract they could do it for you, im guessing he doesnt have a Three contract otherwise he'd have offered already im sure....

 

Orange will not unlock the phone for you unless your the original owner and your account is upto date, trust me I tried, told them I bought the phone second hand and they told me they won't unlock it unless the previous owner does it, no get around your stuck with the network.

So to the seller, get them unlocked before you sell them if you want to get rid, because whoever you sell them to wont be able to. Orange say 28 days but I've done loads and it takes about a week, unless there's another reason why you can't unlock it yourself????

 

We couldnt get an orange one unlocked either, it was my misses phone and she had an account for 2 years, yet when asked in the shop could they unlock it the answer was no, when i asked why not they just said they cant do it in the shop anymore, so i rang the customer services and they said they cant you'll have to go into a shop, well i already did and they said no?

Orange are t&ats

Luckily we are both on Three now, people who actually do as their told if you ring them.

 

do you still have these for sale?

 

Only one way orange will unlock it if u have the sim inside the phone for 3 months and regular top up and use the phone then after 3 months they will unlock it with a charge of £20, but then down side is u can't sell the phone as new then.
