Hi guys just a quick question for you regarding a iPhone 5s I've just purchased 2nd hand, as with all phones bought 2nd hand and still in contract you put yourself at risk of the original owner phoning up and getting the phone blocked either through the owner not paying up his contract or reporting it lost or stolen.
As the phone is only a few weeks old and still has all warranty options running with Apple, if I was to make out the phone was faulty and dropping calls etc and sent it back to apple, the chances are they would just send me another phone ( I know this as I've done it before) therefore a different phone comes with a different imei number,
So my question is, if the original phone owner did do this and decided to get the phone blocked one way or another, which lets be honest he could do and isn't unheard of, then surely when or if the network provider blocked the phone it will only block the phone that is no longer with me, as Apple would have sent me another. Just looking at options of covering myself as I would have one very unhappy father and teenager if it did become blocked.
