Sorry benifa but that is nonesense
So you have a problem with the iphone lets say it is no sound ( could be anything but we will use that)
You put the phone back to the way it came and head off to the Carphone warehouse or apple store
You: excuse me my iphone is broken there is no sound from the headphones
Assistant: Ok sir lets have a look at the phone
You: here you go
Assistant: This phone is not activated how could you possibly know there is a problem with the sound.
And you would say what exactly that would still mean you had a warranty
Nonsense? I'm not arguing with cdebru, with regards to issues relating to consumer law. I have a wide experience in this area and I am telling you, under no uncertain terms, that any UK retailer who refuses to adhere to the UK Sale of Goods Act 1979, faces severe penalties. Whether the Iphone is activated or not is totally irrelevant, since the fault would remain either way. The retailer can and will test this.
Don't believe me?
Sale of Goods Act 1979.
As I've said before on this thread, Apple (or any other manufacturer for that matter) can claim anything they like with regards to warranty restrictions or "invalidations" - but they can never deprive consumers of their statutory rights.
I don't want to fall out with you cdebru, but I'd prefer if you get your facts right in future, before telling people they're talking nonsense. You're pretty smart when it comes to the Iphone, and I certainly wouldn't go posting deflamatory remarks about anything you post, not without getting my facts right.

Ok so tell me how you get around the fact that you could not have discovered the fault without activating the phone and if you activate the phone by any other method than the official apple method you have invalidated your warranty.
Installing software on the iphone to circumvent the apple activation is not reasonable use of the phone ( legally). It is clearly stated by apple that jailbreaking the phone invalidates your warranty.
I'm just curious as to how you would get around this.
Of course if you restored it and activated it by taking out an o2 UK subscription you would have a warranty but that is not possible if you are living in the Republic nor would it be worth your while.
Without that you have a warranty from apple as long as you have not activated the phone. Which gets back to my point the only way to get that warranty acted on would be to kill it completely so you can not activate it.
But you cannot go back to apple and compalin that your sound or wifi or anything else will not work on a phone that you have jailbroken and unlocked even if you restore it.
The only exception I can think of might be where apple did a recall for an identified fault say battery on a batch of goods you may have an argument that they would have to fix your phone under such a general recall as the fault is not related to your actions in jailbreaking the phone0 -

Oh.. oh.. and what's the story with my O2 sim card? Will i need one of those TurboSim's etc?
Commisserations to gerrynealon - his iPhone sounds in a pretty bad way. :eek: Should you avoid installing a lot of third party apps or doing updates (unless you know they're safe) to keep it in it's non-brick format!

You can software unlock all versions of the iPhone atm so turbosims etc are no longer required.
3rd Party App's should be fine just check that they work with the version you have. But yeah don't update to newer iPhone versions till they're jailbroken and sim unlocked0 -
