my cousin got a 2nd hand iphone from a forum member few months back (claims is from a reseller but no receipt cause lost it). so now he worried after reading about TS post. i guess there's nothing he can do now though

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

well maybe the original owner got it from maxis one and then did not service the whole debt and now telco block it

As far as I know Malaysia telco only can block their own network and if you change sim they can't lock anymore

Telco contract phones are risky.
You acknowledge and agree we have the rights to block the IMEI of the Device if you are:
1, suspected of fraud or found to have committed fraud; or
2, after signing up to this Offer, you fail to make payment for a continuous period of three (3) months.

Wondering, how if got the phone from company dinner lucky draw without any receipts? Anything I can do to check whether it is Telco phone or not?

how do you even know if the phone is being under Telco plans, which telco because anyone can lie.

true.. lately a lot of ppl selling phone under categories 'lucky draw'.. zzzz

Hi. I have bought iphone X new sealed in box in february this year. I bought it from a person i saw his ad in facebook. That was early this year so i dont really keep his number.

Then on early november this year suddenly showing no service.

I went to apple center. A week later they replaced me with a totally brand new iphone X.

After using this new iphone x for about 2months it shows no issue service again. I went to apple center again but this time they said my phone have been blocked by MCMC? Seriously? Why at the first place they replace me with new iphone and now telling me this new iphone is being blocked with MCMC?

Means this ne iphone have been blocked by telco? How do i find out which telco blocked it?

Finding the seller  is impossible i think coz i lost the conversation and his number. I dont feel suspicious since its brand new seaed and using the phone with no problem at all for 10months.

Or my iphone is totally unuseable now? Practically i have been using this phone for 11months but its only 1month++ old since Apple just replaced it 1month++ ago.

Is there any way to find out which telco blocked it? I went to celcom center they said they cannot check which telco is it from.

Well..maybe I'm the lucky 1..not iPhone but mate 20 Pro, got from company dinner lucky draw...thought to sell it out for cash, but then now decided to use it myself..

Bloody hell.. i kena this too.. exact same situation.. I brought in my iPhoneX I bought from this f**ker in LYN called “AK Comm” in Dec 2017 and they swapped a new one for me.. happened last week my phone no network and I sent it back and now they tell me high chances its telco locked now..

I can’t even reach him anymore.. do you know or remember  what was the post?

Thank you so much.. I manage to contact him.. he has changed his number.. he say he will help me solve it and if he can, I take back my words that he is a f**ker..

Sold my new iphone X replaced set by Apple for rm2000. Better than nothing. I just bought new iphone but this time singapore set, no worries for telco set.

Singapore telco set should not affect malaysia sim card.
Unless you roam to SG.

May I know isn’t a risk to buy local telco set (new set) from seller ah?

Any possibility phone be blocking in future.

Thank you

I'm selling a Telco set too. So how to assure buyer that there won't be trouble? I don't miss payments and contract is 2 years, so after 2 years the phone isn't bound to the Telco anymore right in the sense that ive completed the contract for it?
Sticking to local buyers for now since if anything can easily solve. So much fussy, didn't even realize the telcos implement this.

Good to know. Mine is normal contract.

I see. But better read the fine print just in case. Will update once I have

Didn't keep my hopes up and he is still a f**ker.. attached is our whatsapp conversation.. he started to remove the "blue tick" status also halfway through our conversation..
this is true.. I sold mine for RM2,000 too but 1 did offer me up to RM2,200.. so too all those who kena.. expect between RM2,000 ~ RM2,200..

Iphoen 8 gold 64gb.. ok??

iPhone secondhand market is very sketchy.
it’s either refurbished or telco sets.
