How to Check Used iPhone Before Purchasing

As we all know in Nigeria we have many classifieds sites and the most visited of them is SPAM. There you can buy a huge amount of used goods. But not everyone knows how to do it correctly. Today we tell you how to check used iPhone before purchasing.

1. Be sure to check the seller - at the base of scammers (they have a huge database of scams) and check reviews at blog SPAM.

2. Make an appointment with the seller in a place where you can comfortably sit for 20-30 minutes, have coverage Wi-Fi network, and good lighting. For safety reasons, it is unclear whom to call to home or to go to the buyer to visit should not be as to meet on deserted streets or vacant lots.

3. Carefully examine the iPhone in appearance and check the operation of all its components: the screen, behindons, connectors, speakers, microphones, camera, fingerprint reader, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. If possible, take a laptop to the meeting - will be easier to check Lightning port, you can fill in the smartphone test pictures to check the screen and music. Be sure to install the Sim card and make a few calls. It will be wise to use the phone for thirty minutes in various modes, including play a bit - is not it too quickly discharged battery, whether there is no reboots.

4. Paying for the iPhone is possible only after the seller has left his account iCloud (Settings -> iCloud):
 
Also, be sure to check the status Activation Lock at the website iCloud.com. After entering the IMEI (Settings -> General -> About the device -> IMEI) and a check word, the system must give report about the lack of blocking. Otherwise, the device can not be bought.

Finally, if the the device is not erased and the previous owner is with you, go to Settings | General | Reset | Erase All Content and Settings. They'll be asked for their Apple ID and password, and then Activation Lock will be removed, and the device will be erased. Good luck!
