Buying used

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I hope someone can answer a quick question for me:

If I buy a used iPhone 6 that is locked to o2, would I have any problem using my o2 sim with it?

I'm on a cheap roling contract with o2 and want to buy a used phone without changing my contract.

Thanks in advance

Your sim will work fine.

If it's locked to O2 there should be no problem.

Thanks for the quick replies, that's good to know

Let us know how you get on.

If you need a different sized sim any O2 shop will swap it for you free of charge, transferring your tariff and number across for you.

Beware though,
if it's been obtained on a contract then sold, any non payment by the original owner could result in the phone being blocked by O2 as they still legally own the handset.

Be very wary of buying second hand phones unless it's someone you know very well. Particular stay away from eBay .
