Those who bought under Zerolution scheme will have telco lock if never settle the installment payments.

The phone will be locked as in. .? If we use the sim from different Telco?

just ask for the receipt, at least you also can check where they bought the phone

Well, if the reseller is trustworthy or well established then there should be nothing for your cousin to worry about.

I have the same issue previously. Gotten a second hand iPhone 6S plus from mudah.my. I didn't check upon COD. When I reached home, put sim card card, cannot work at all. For maxis centre, change new sim card also same. No signal.
Then since it's under warranty, I just walk into apple warranty centre. Then check my iPhone and took my phone for further examination. One week later, then just replace a brand new one.

ast time can replace because Apple dunno about telco lock
Now if your phone no service and send the ASP
They will first check is it maxis set or other telco Set
If yes they will return back to u

Erm... bro this just happened kinda recently. Say its june of this year. I just want to point out, the telco lock is not always true. Unless someone could get a black and white notice from either maxis or apple. Its pointless to speculate.

yes its something like epp where you skip the 1 lump sum payment, and pay monthly for xx months... and after 1 year u get to upgrade to a new phone/model as long as your phone is in working condition, surrender it back to them and they'll swap you with the new phone..... but people tend not to buy zerolution/easyphone units coz if the owner have bad record ie doesn't pay or always late in payment, Telco will lock the device, so if you buy it u'll become the victim coz the phone cannot be used...
