The Dangers if you buy unlocked iPhone

Posted by: Robert Allen , February 11, 2011

One of the most popular options for a consumer who wants the latest iPhone but doesn’t want to change service providers is to

buy unlocked iPhone. An unlocked iPhone is an iPhone that someone has used some specialized computer software in order to

remove the restrictions that are on the service provider and the software that may be used with the iPhone. Although this is

an option that is extremely popular with iPhones, there can be some problems and dangers.  

A Stolen iPhone

One problem or danger that exists when you buy unlocked iPhone is that the iPhone might have been stolen. Be sure that you

only buy unlocked iPhone from a verifiable or authorized source.

A Refurbished iPhone

If you buy unlocked iPhone, it might be refurbished which means that it might have previously been in a non working of broken

condition. Although the iPhone may work properly now, there may be some issues or problems that might still exist

Updating Problems

If you buy unlocked iPhone, you might have a problem updating it. For instance, the iPhone software that is constantly being

updated and the consumer must download and install these updates. If you buy unlocked iPhone that uses software that is not

provided by Apple, it can be next to impossible to install these updates.

Easily Susceptible to Hackers

If you buy unlocked iPhone that has be unlocked by hacking it might be more susceptible to future hacking or other types of

attacks that can result in software failure or stolen information.  

No Warranty or Users Manual

In addition, if you buy unlocked iPhone, it might not come with important materials like the users’ manuals and original

packaging. If the iPhone has been unlocked it also usually voids the warranty, which means if the iPhone quits working, Apple

won’t cover the cost of the repairs.

Tips for Buying an Unlocked iPhone

The following tips will allow you to buy unlocked iPhone somewhat easier. In the first place ensure that cell phone service

provider supports the cell phone. The cell phone will be inoperable if you can’t get cell service. Secondly, buy unlocked

iPhone from an authorized dealer such as web sites that sell unlocked iPhones directly from the manufacturer or from an Apple

store. Lastly, if at all possible, buy unlocked iPhone with a warranty/return policy. That way if the phone should break, it

can be repaired or replaced little or no cost to you.
