imschur Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 The boss at work decided I needed to have a company phone which is on At&t. Unfortunately back in September I had to buy out of contract, from Apple an iPhone 5s 32gb for the Verizon network. Boss tells me the phone is still worth quite a bit. The phone is pristine as it has been in an otterbox defender since birth. Anyone know what i need to do to the phone to sell it? Im assuming a factory reset. Also is there a good non ebay place to sell it? I spent $901.85 on 9/22/2013 so I would not mind getting some cash back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Drew, y Unfortunately back in September I had to buy out of contract, from Apple an iPhone 5s 32gb for the Verizon network.

He bought a new iPhone 5 for $10 and they weren't even available in the states yet! Somebody is making a schitload of money off of the American consumers!

Microgunner Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Is the boss picking up the tab on the new phone including monthly service? Will the boss be able to monitor your usage of the new phone? Is this a spying technique? Maybe you should consider keeping your old service in addition to the company phone.

shibiwan Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ask him for a partial stipend for the phone instead. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 He paid for the phone and the monthly for mine, the old ladies and the mobile broadband for her ipad. Ive been shelling out $170 a month for this. I have no family and friends so I use the phone mostly as a pda. Nothing to spy on really. I been here 28 years and he's also my landlord and boss for my property management gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I've found through the pawn business that any GSM (SIM card) phone can be unlocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think Verizon was forced to change beginning with the iPhone 5. Previously they were locked to Verizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 They (the communications industry) lobbied so that nobody could unlock anything. Read an article a couple of months ago that they were working on changing that in congress but no idea if it passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
