Looking to buy an IPHONE 4 this week...
02-04-2013, 07:59 AM
After a forum member said I should get a used IPHONE from ATT off ebay and purchase a straight talk SIM card, I figured I'd finally upgrade from my flip phone lifestyle.
Anything I should look for while cruising Ebay before I take the plunge? My main concern is making sure the phone isn't dinged up too bad, that I have good reception (since I heard signals can be weak on the older Iphones), and that I can get at a reasonable price (How much should I pay for it?).
If you guys find any good deals online on a used phone let me know.

Ask your Colleagues who are upgrading there I 4's to 5's, You will have a better chance of getting a phone that is working and you will know the gistory of the phone as well.
Also Try your Local Craigslist. I am thinking not more then $ 150 -200.
Good Luck hunting......

That will be unlocked, Not jail Broken phone and regulated by AT& T for the next 2 yrs. IMO what Players want is Freedom from shackles of regulation by cell phone companies.
Much better to Pay $ 200 dollars to get a used I-phone , Unlock & Jail break it and use almost anywhere in the world with a simple change of SIM card.

I kept my 4 so I could unlock & jailbreak it as I didn't want to risk fucking up my new 5. I'm kind of just sitting on it until I have a reason to pay someone to jailbreak it for me. I paid $270 on the Best Buy private auction site (ensures its not stolen and it's working for a small premium over craigslist price) in I think March. Should be significantly cheaper by now.

Where do you get a nexus 4 for only 299?
And, anyone have a good source for a discounted used Galaxy S3?

iPhone 4S is pretty cheap now. You have to be cafeful though. Developers fine tune the apps to work on the latest hardware, iPhone 5. What happens is eventually with each app update, the app runs a little bit slower on the older phones. I'm starting to see this on my 4s and Facebook. It's been taking way to long to load a pic when you select it and sometimes Facebook just crashes for no reason. They increase the memory usage of the app and make it unusable so you're forced to upgrade.
