Please practice this principal, no receipt no talk! regardless if they miss-place it, goes missing, or with sweet promise. FYI, even they have paid their device price at respective telco, they are still tied with 2 years contract, if they missed the payment (not sure how many months), the phone will be locked automatically. If they tell you the phone and contract are fully paid, then you should call to telco to verify.

Tips for buying 2nd iphone from my personal experience since iphone 3gs to avoid telco issue
- get Singapore set (model code: ZP except iphone 12). I have been using Singapore set since 3Gs till iphone 11, free worries on telco lock issue. The disadvantage is the resale value might not as high as MY set, but who care. I buy at lower price, sell at lower price. fair
- insist on original and authorized shop (machine, switch, senheng, IT world etc) payment receipt only, no hand written receipt or other small mobile shop receipt. Once you got it, call to the authorized shop to confirm the purchase. fake receipt can be printed easily nowadays.
- check the phone inside out from software (sound, speaker, mic, mute button, both cameras zoom feature, true tone - brightness setting) to hardware especially on the screw part see if they ever open the set. You may try to connect laptop and diagnose with 3utools, it can provide basic information about the parts.
- COD only, reset the phone to factory setting and insert your simcard to try the signal before you make payment.

Maybe other experts could advise further. Hope this help and good luck...

Oh one more thing, cheap does not mean good! There is always a reason why people sell at low price when they can sell at market price...urgent? family issue? accident? haha. judge yourself.
