First Focus

Probably wrong place to post this but i'll give it aa go, i lost my iphone 4 last week, and some dishonest so and so has not returned it for a very sweet reward, i'm wondering would anyone advise me to buy a new one from Done deal or similar sites, as i just cannpt afford to pay full price for a new one, thanks, and sorry if i posted this in the wrong place

Adverts as well for me.
Just be 1000% sure & happy before you pay for anything.
Youre still looking at €400 though,personally i would get a loan and buy a new one.

What do you mean adverts, i am a little silly not knowing i suppose, thats what my husband said too aboout buying from those places, he also wants me to get a sim for my old nokia phone, but i'm not too happy about that, i will find it very hard to go back to it, ( i mean when the phone rings on peppa pig it reminds me of my own phone ):(

adverts.ie i meant,check it out,loads of iphones for sale.

id rather use my 7 year old nokia 6101 for a few hours or days rather than have my iphone damaged,lost or stolen (at a concert or whatever).
its not a bad idea your husband has!

Sadly no, my laptop was broken when i got it first and when i got a new one i forgot all about doing it, ya, i know, i'm a tool, its gone now, i am as gutted today as i was last wednesday week, just 3 days before my daughters communion, gutted :mad:

Get you mobile company to blacklist the phone. That will make it useless in Ireland.

Hi all, hope I'm not hijacking this thread,(mods feel free to move if I am)
I was also thinking about buying an iphone 4 from these sites but I'm a bit concerned that if I buy one that is locked to my network(three), and the person that I bought it off has it out on contract, if they stop paying their contract will three lock the fone?
