[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1836457, member: 46727"] I would stay away from buying any iPhone that the IMEI has not been cleared. I can't speak for what goes on with providers there in the UK, but here in the US if an IMEI is not clear there is no way you can use the phone. A registered IMEI can mean the phone was stolen or that it is still held (not paid for) by the carrier. Also, buying an iPhone off eBay is a gamble. My advice, don't do it. Visit the Apple on line refurbished store where Apple sells refurbished iPhones. They are like new and fully warranted by Apple. Each refurbished Apple iPhone has a new battery and a new outside case. Apple also tests the phone to make sure all is okay. [/QUOTE]
