TBH, after a sale on CL, I would probably not pick up either just because I don't want to hear any whining from
the buyer regardless of the issue. All Sales are Final in CL.

I wonder why the guy would scam and put the wrong carrier though?
It's probably not an honest mistake, but it doesn't really make logical sense either.

It's not like he sold you a brick. Or do Rogers iPhones have more value than Bell versions?
I don't know anything about iPhones. But to me, just doesn't make sense why he couldn't
have just list his ad as a Bell iPhone in the first place. Not like it wouldn't have sold either way.

Is the phone even 32gb at the very least? like he claimed it was?
could be stolen...

Just sell it or get it unlocked.

It could have been worse.

When i bought phones in the past,

I used my sim card and out it into the phone, called the seller. Then got seller to call me back.. made sure the screen working properly.. all while asking the seller all the normal questions and made random chit chat..

if you go into settings - general - about, it'll show which carrier the phone belongs to even if you don't have a sim card in it

it sucks that people are like this, im assuming u told him you are looking for a rogers phone when he posted up an iphone and he just said to you it was rogers as a deal closer.

i would just post it up for sale again.

Unfortunately you cannot unlock the new iphones to work across other carriers yet, i dont really get that because apple sells unlocked iphones...

anyways he has alot of people bugging him for a subaru from the craigslist post i made right now :fullofwin: ive already had like 7 emails and its specified to reply via text and call :ilied:
