If you use a carrier based smartphone, its about time you read this post!  You may find yourself wanting to purchase an iPhone, or a different smartphone, however if its used, you will want to check the ESN and the EMEI number to make sure that it is “clean.”  What I mean by that, is that the phone you are purchasing is off the account with its carrier and able to be used with your new number.  This is NOT the same term as “Unlocked.”  Even if a phone is unlocked, it can be blocked in the U.S. and other locations if the EMEI is bad.  Its important to check both prior to any third-party cell phone purchase.  If you buy it new, you won’t have to worry about this if your purchasing it from a reputable company!
