Hello,
So the dilemma with buying a new phone on eBay is that the new phone is not activated. The purchaser of the 4S has to activate the phone first. If done so, and then ships the phone to the winner on eBay, the "winner " can then simply switch sim cards and the new 4S should act and look like the "winner's" phone. However this is still a guess on my part. Maybe someone out there knows more or has gone through this situation already. (Maybe in the past, this has happened to someone buying a iPhone 4)
My question is: is there any other way of getting the new 4S phone to become the "new" owners phone without the original purchaser to activate it?
Apparently AT&T is willing to activate the new phone but you will lose the unlimited data plan and any other "grandfather" advantages you may have now.
Anyone know anything about this specific problem, please help!
Grateful
