    Just out of interest how did it take months to get the phone checked out and confirmed as not working? Due to the prices of iphones not many people after ordering off eBay and getting a non working phone would wait they would send it back to the seller. Something doesn't sound right at all.


    Does that actually matter........

    The post was about whether there was a way to sell it.

    No it doesn't matter as I said just more interested......

    The post also contained all the information regarding the purchased non working phone. If you post something its fairly reasonable to expect someone to ask a question if they want. Like I said something doesn't sound right.

    There is only one model of 3GS and it was used world wide. More likely you've got a blacklisted handset.

    Or maybe as someone said higher up, it' sim locked to a foreign network.

    Why not just jailbreak it for free and then use it??? :)

    Apparently you can check if an iPhone is SIM locked by looking in

    Settings => General => About => Carrier

    If it's empty, it's unlocked.
