Question Cell Phone from eBay?

Have you ever bought a cell phone on eBay?

Was the (eBay) transaction and transition (with your carrier) from old cellie to new cellie painless? What problems, if any, did you encounter?

Thanks, folks.

I've bought one before, and it was smooth sailing...That's not to say that this is the case for any cell phone sold on eBay, of course...The important thing to do is to make sure you're getting it from a legit person/company.

It's typically safest to buy from a power seller - Somebody who literally sells hundreds of phones every day....Just check feedback ratings.

My friend sells cell phones on ebay. He gets 1 free every month from a "friend" and then my friend unlocks them. Smooth sailing.
