What happens when you buy a damaged iPhone?

Bad ENS?

BAD IMEI?

Locked iCloud account?

I been looking at these and people are buy them for about 1/3 of the new retail price.

Is the only thing you cannot do is use it as a phone and connect to the cellular connect but the Wi-Fi is unaffective?

What happens when you sync it to your iTune software?
Will it load your personal stuff? Can you add new apps?

I think you cannot upload to iCloud but how does that effect me?

Can you use it as a Touch mobile device in any of the three damage situations?

Thanks!

Most of the phone you are seeing on eBay are being sold for parts.

Bad ENS?

BAD IMEI?

For all intents, the phone is now an iPod Touch. You can sync it to your iTunes account, use and install apps, and, when on WiFi, browse the web, and use full internet services.

What you can't do is use it to make/ receive calls, texts, or use cellular data.

Locked iCloud account?

The iPhone is only good as a paperweight or parts.

Thanks!

I am posting using my 3rd gen Touch!

If price is right, might risk getting a bad ENS or IMEI 5S.

No iCloud locked.

I reviewed closely all the bad ESN and IMEI phones. They all seem to have iCloud locks on them.
