Cowboom - smartphone flash sale
 

Edit - it seems like At&t iPhones are OOS. So the current deal is for HTC one X for $280 + tax
So basically a smartphone flash sale from Cowboom.

I bought 2 iphone 4's 32gb ATT from Amazon when they had a deal in November. ~$210 for "very good" and $230 for "like new". I got the cheaper ones and they came in the OEM box, with new wall charger, headphones and cable. Phones were in really good condition.

This deal is ok, but seems like they lack the cables, worse condition, and higher price than the Amazon deal 2 months ago.

great deal for refurbishers like myself.

will buy as many as i can today.

Easy to unlock for tmobile prepaid?

yep, just buy an unlock code off eBay for $2.

i hope these are all shipped from the CA or TX warehouses. every time i've purchased iPhones from their illinois warehouse, my orders have gotten messed up (one time i was missing 6 phones when i ordered 7, and the other time they shipped to the wrong address on the other side of the country).

Thanks for the heads up. I decided to browse the warehouse deals and found a 5 for $360.

Could you link that warehouse deal 5? Thanks

Is the eBay unlock code reliable (ie, is there a difference between eBay and AT&T code)? Would AT&T reverse the lock somehow? Since these are not bought on contract, is there anyway to get a code from AT&T directly?

No way he found an iphone 5 for 360. He must mean 4s. I call shenanigans.

eBay codes are money, used them before and work. Always check the feedback.

Oh yea, I found one for $308

Link please

Complete noob question: once unlocked, would it be possible to use the phone for a prepaid plan like PagePlus or Strait Talk?

PagePlus is CDMA and will not work with this phone,
Once you unlock it you are free to use with tmobile or internationally,
No unlock is needed for straight talk since it is already att

can't find it.

looks like its dead

**nevermind it showed up on the FP of the website**

my eyes are going bad, i thought this was for a 4s.
lol

I understand that Amazon warehouse was better than this but that deal is long gone. And this seems to be a decent price to jump on an iPhone.
Best part is Cowboom.... You can send it back and get a full refund if you don't like it.

eBay unlock codes are cheap and it works ! You just have to check the feedback of seller.

Looks like smartphone flash sale..might wanna change title OP....

Sweet!!!! Need one for my EKG.

Heads up about the laws about unlocking. Just read that it will be illegal starting tomorrow. Read article here: http://gizmodo.com/5978982/unlock...g-tomorrow

Thanks for the heads up about DMCA and unlocking phones. Looks like this sale is not affected though. From that article:

There are also a few technical loopholes. Legacy phones, i.e. "used (or perhaps unused) phones previously purchased or otherwise acquired by a consumer" are still cool to unlock,

It's for phones purchased starting tomorrow. If you have the phone now, you can unlock it whenever. I assume this would apply to these phones if you buy today (plus the loophole posted above allows these phones to be unlocked).

i only see 4s 16gb for 299

SPRINT :shake:

sprint is CDM correct, however doesnt iphone has a sim card slot anyways?

Nope it was a 5. I couldn't believe the price either so I bought it. Will make a nice profit.

still calling shenanigans. need to see a screen captured receipt. blur out any identifying info of course.

the Sprint Iphone will not work with att, it is a different wireless technology - Sprint is CDMA, ATT is GSM

I believe that's the whole point of getting a used GSM iPhone! You can use an AT&T one even without unlocking it if you order the right thing from Straight Talk. Did this for my wife two months ago

If it is a 4S, it doesn't matter the carrier. An unlock is available for all of them.

I'm using a Verizon 4S on Straight Talk.

thanks but does no the iphone has a sim card slot? can it be unlocked?
its quad band will it not work overseas? thanks

Just a reminder, after today apparently the Ebay prices for IPhones to be unlocked are going to go up. I found a thread couple days ago here on SD which discusses this issue in more details.

Sprint 4S has a sim card slot and it can be *unlocked*, however, the unlock is expensive and still blacklists all the US carriers so it will only work with international sim cards.

So $20 is expensive (which btw does not blacklist the US carriers)? :lmao:

I was j/k...the other guy was full of it.

$20 for a sprint unlock? cheapest I can find is over $100!

The unlock prices depend on the carrier. The cheap ones on ebay are mostly for at&t. Sprint iPhone 4Ss are locked to sprint sim cards, and even if you do get it 'factory unlocked', the sprint 4S will still refuse to accept US sim cards like tmobile and att.

edit: and yes, the 4S is a world phone so it does have the standard GSM bands.

It's all over ebay. The unlock is soft but does it without jailbreak and allows use to use any GSM carrier.

I'm on ST and get 4G (not LTE) with speeds from 3-6Mb
