hello -

I’ve found a used iPhone 8 Plus that was on U.S. Cellular. I’m on Verizon, has anyone had issues with unlocked phones? My search found people having problems.

Thanks!
 
Sorry, let me clarify, I found a used one for sale. I would absolutely turn one into the police if I just found one.

Sorry my bad. In which case I’d check to see if anyone offers that service locally. I’ve seen signs on the High Street, but I’ve always bought my iPhones unlocked from Apple.
 
Do you know what model the 8+ is? I'm not certain but I believe US Cellular uses GSM whereas Verizon is CDMA so you would want to be sure that the 8+ is unlocked and would work on the Verizon system.
 
I’m not sure what model they sell. From what I can see online they are the same model.
