Hey all,

Sold an unlocked 1.1.3 on eBay to some French bidder (despite saying I wouldn't post outside the UK) :rolleyes:

Anyway, the iPhone got delivered today, all was well.. NOT!

They emailed me today to say that the iPhone didn't work, it kept rejecting the SIM.

I suggested trying varying methods to get this phone to accept their SIM, however, they keep replying with "Didn't work"

Eventually, I had to ask "Did you update in iTunes?"

"Yes, why?"

Now, despite me leaving the 02 SIM out of the box and with a note saying NOT TO UPDATE they've gone and updated and I'm left to explain how to unlock the iPhone to a n00b.

Not a great day, and I know 100% it worked unlocked as I tested it, so I'm betting they'll say I scammed them :mad:

FOOL!
 
I'd tell them to get lost tbh.

As long as you have a record of how helpful you have been and as long as the description was accurate then I'd leave them alone..
 
Well I just wrote an idiot's guide to unlocking the phone and I even followed it myself with my spare iPhone, so I know it works.

I've told them all they need to know, which is annoying because I knew it'd come back to bite me when they won the auction.

They just seemed the buyer to cause 'aggro.

Tampin.

LOL!
Unlucky mate - It's not possible for her to revert back to 1.1.3 and follow your "foolproof" guide, no? Not been up to date with the updates and reverts on the iPhones these days...

What on earth did you Google, "french armpit"? LOL

I've actually told her straight now anyway..

At the time of sale 1.1.3 firmware was the latest, and was delivered in working order. It was her choice to update it (because iTunes told her to :rolleyes: ) and now it's broke.

I've told her that out of courtesy I'll send her the details when a 1.1.4 unlock is official, but I will not be refunding her.

If she leaves feedback of the negative flavour then I'll hop on the eurostar and kick her in the ovaries.

Armpit

That's all.
(FYI, turning off Google "safe" search and typing a fairly normal word like Armpit can bring in a heck of alota NFFW pictures... by warned!)

As for what you've told that buyer, it's very fair, it was her own fault to not "follow instructions / warnings". Hopefully a simple unlock for the iPhone 1.1.4 will be out soon for her sake. That or a free razor is needed to be posted to her.
