Before you buy a used mobile phone or tablet PC, you need to evaluate your options. You need to decide on what you need the phone for. There are people who buy their mobile phones just to make calls and send short text messages to their family, friends and colleagues. Others will need to perform other functions like taking photos and videos, emailing or even interacting with friends on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. So, this decision will allow you to know the kind of features that you need to look for. Search for the model that excites you and suits your budget and requirements. You should also want to go for the color, design and other features that excite you. Before you settle on any seller, ensure that the given descriptions of the handset are true. You may ask the seller for clarification about the condition of the handset. You will find that sometimes the conditions of the phones are described using promotional language to show the good quality of the product, but you could later discover that that is not the case. Inquire about the previous owner of the phone and if the phone will require any service. You should also inquire whether the phone is accompanied by its relevant accessories, such as the charger, headphones, memory card and so on. Make sure that the seller can prove that the phone is genuine - that is, if it has been stolen from someone or not. By pressing *#06#, you can find the Imei number of the phone. Tell the seller to do this, as you do not yet have the phone yourself. Some BlackBerry Bold phones are purchased at very cheap price through the signing of contracts between the manufacturer and mobile phone service providers. The settings of these phones may not allow other operators’ SIM card to be used on the devices, as they are often locked. Make sure that the phone is not locked in such a way; otherwise, you may have to pay unlocking charges to use you phone with a different operator. You should also inquire about the amount of time that the battery may last. You should also be ware of scammers who may ask you to pay for the phone first and will later send you the phone. You should not send money to such people. If they ask for the number of your credit card or any other personal details, do not make the mistake of sending it to them.
