Seriously????? What kind of question is that? Anything you buy these days can be stolen.

Guys.....its pretty obvious. She is trying to ask if she buys this phone if there is a possibility it is already on the lost or stolen list. Which is a proper concern when buying a used phone.

Yes it can. But you will be able to locate it once it goes online. Make sure to setup security options though. Or download androiod device manager or avg free.

If buying it off line, you can always ask the seller before purchasing the phone. If the esn isn't clear when buying it you can always get a refund back because that will mean you were sold an usable item. The easiest way though would be to contact the seller.

if you're ordering it from the same company I bought it from, i'd refrain from buying it. the phone won't work period. and the company won't return your calls or emails. and you won't get your money back.

The IMEI on each phone is unique. I actually purchased this phone as a replacement and have now replaced it with a new 5C. So knowing the IMEI on this phone would be of no use to you. (Your comment about establishing that the phone is not stolen . . .) That is certainly true. But, since I have that phone (3GS) in my possession and do not have it for sale I am curious as to why you are posting this question. Unless you are trying to buy a phone from an Amazon seller and not from me - - THEN your question is very relevant . . . but should be directed to the specific seller. Your question was sent to me by Amazon as a general knowledge question.

After reading up on Square Trade they insure just about any item. New or used and purchase from anywhere. My phone was used & unlocked smartphone, good luck.

Hello Melanie, I ordered a RAZR from Amazon for my wife for Christmas. When we went to activate it at Verizon we discovered Amazon had sent me a stolen phone. I returned the phone, got my money back, but no apology from Amazon. Ruined our Christmas. Amazon could use a heart transplant.

Don't quote me but based on my experience you can use that phone. Just explain that the other phone is lost. As long as you can verify your identity they will simply switch the information and the number. Only exception would be if your number were inaccessible, and it doesn't appear that would be the case. Good luck and I hope this helps.

yes, as longer the phone is in clean, that means no balance own or reported stolen & lost, if everything is good, you can change any phone. I know because, I have ask Verizon wireless.

yes.these phones can be returned in the designated period and have missing parts. the firm does not check the package before sending it to another customer.

I have bought several phones from amazon only to have to through them in a drawer or return them if possible. a used phone will not be turned on by your phone company unless you can prove there is a clear line. and there is no way to prove the previous owners are paid in full , not to satisfy the phone company anyway

If you bought it from the same person I did then you are in trouble. I have had problems with the phone since day one! And they never fixed it or refund my money!

Forgot too mention 13.00 a month for the service you can download g he app to your smartphone track from smartphone or computer. If what you have it on gets stolen call the police give them the website and your login info and what was stolen and they pick it up. Time is important anything can be disabled if located

With Metro Pcs, yes, you can pay an extra five dollars a month (which I did) if the phone is lost/stolen, this insurance can ONLY be applied to a new handset.

No it's not and if you buy you'll not be able to unlock because AT&T will not let you unless you were the previous owner or have their information. Hope that helps

The two iPhone 4's I received were unlocked. It matters what seller you buy it from.
