garethEds Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 iPhone 5 - £300 Black 02 Unlocked 16Gb iOS7 Original box etc etc Doubt anyone will want it. Very good condition except for the rear which has slight spots where it has been marked. It's been in a case since day one but dust and I assume particles have made the back a bit spotty. Photos on request. Gareth
zag Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Ooo my girlfriend was looking to buy a cheaper 5. I'll let her know.
garethEds Posted September 19, 2013 Author Posted September 19, 2013 Hi Zag, Like I say the only minor issue is with the rear of the phone. No cracks but little blemishes where the dust or grime has dug into the case. I've had a case on it since day 1 but it has still happened on the phone. Gareth
zag Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Sorry she said no, she wants a "shiny gold" iphone 5s now.

um1t Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 cex offer 252 for your phone http://uk.webuy.com its very easy to sell to them and quick to get paid
mac_shinobi Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Just curious and hopefully not going off tangent here ( appologies if I am @garethedmondson ) but I have a similar handset so the iphone 5 and was just curious how much I could sell mine for ( details below of mine ) 1. Unlocked but currently with Three ( has iOS 7 ) 2. 32gb Black in mint condition due to the case I have ( which is less than 6 months old ) 3. Otterbox Armour Series case ( which I purchased direct from otterbox and has a year guarantee ) so at least 6 months of warranty / guarantee left on the case 4. Apple Care which I got at the end of September which covers the handset for I believe a further 2 years ( apple care not apple care plus )

Apple Care which I got at the end of September which covers the handset for I believe a further 2 years ( apple care not apple care plus ) If you do a good ebay auction you should get between 450 to 500. The apple care would only cover the phone for a further year. You can check when the actual warranty end on: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do You must take into consideration that you will lose around 30-50 pounds on seller fee's however even with ebay and paypal fee's ebay is the best place to sell mobile phones. If your selling your phone off to buy the 5S. I wouldn't bother, the phone is literally the same and feels the same. Waste of money. I have found the 5 to be better than the 5S! The reason is I have had 2 5's so far and both of them have a issue with the mic. If I dont hold the phone plastered to my face, the person on the line can't hear me properly. This was not an issue with the iphone 5 I had. 1

This was not an issue with the iphone 5 I had. I was only considering / contemplating selling and getting a 5S was so I could pay off my contract with Three and go with someone else ( I was thinking 02 or vodafone ) as I get no signal what so ever where I work yet my signal in some places other than work , works ok yet where I used to get signal with 02 ie my parents house or other family members houses used to work with 02 but not with Three So wanting to try and get rid of / ditch Three and have 12 months left with Three You are correct ref the extra year but either way ( helps a bit in selling it as gives the other user a bit of cover ref the hand set, as you mentioned the 5S not being that much better I will wait until I can upgrade early ( which will be around September time - even if I have to pay a bit of extra cash to leave Three ) and get the iphone 6 ( one after the 5S assuming the 6 is any good , if not may be tempted to swap to a google droid phone ie Nexus 5 Edited October 21, 2013 by mac_shinobi

Call them up and make a complaint, I had a similar issue with o2 and I complained. Followed it up two weeks later, then a further two weeks later. They were forced to cancel my contract at no cost to me and I kept the phone. With 3 they may offer you a home signal box but your issues seems to be in a few places, so I'm not sure what they will do. Try your luck! Here is some info on the home signal box: About Home Signal. - Support - Three

No issues at home but if im at home not many people I need to talk to when im at home vs if im at work my partner needs to contact me or visa versa me contact her or if friends or work colleagues need to contact me whilst im at work etc
