Oo just chill first of all, quit raging and take life as it is. And change what can be changed in the calmest way possible not by raging through here

Take the iphone back and tell them to give you a new one and whatever, change ur contract and that's it. I think that if u try u can manage to pull something up with them But just chill don't pity yourself and act smart about it

Ummm, did you purchase the phone from Apple? Because if you didn't, I don't see how this is Apple's fault.

I understand you're angry and upset. However, you've got to calm down a bit. First of all, from whom did you purchase your iPhone?

 

[Illustrator Joe]

OK we may actually be able to help you if you provide more information and be a bit more objective. We get you're pissed but that isn't going to help your situation. Where did you buy the phone? Did you buy it from a 3rd party like eBay or craigslist and take it to a carrier to activate? Or did you buy it from a carrier? I am not sure if you can even buy an iphone 4 new from a carrier anymore. Also are you signed into your Apple ID on the phone? Have you set up an Apple ID? You say that you anticipated it being new but it is used. How can you tell? Was it packaged in the box with the cellophane on it? If not why would you assume it was new?

ಠ益ಠ

I truly believe that if you go back to your carrier if that is who you bought the phone from since you said on contract.....Go in and ask for the manager and discuss it with him or her only and they will normally do the right thing. They don't want you upset and you don't need to be. At least give the people where you got the phone from to do the right thing. Have a good day.

I understand trying to be diplomatic at times with these new members...but this person is an id*ot, and there is no way around that.

Sean you have been around as long as most of us if not longer and we as representatives of iMore have to be this way. It might not mean we agree with certain things said but you and I have both seen the other way if we are not so we answer them and let them rant from there. Thank you my friend.

Maybe I'm off but you really sound foolish! The fact that Apple "sold" you a pre owned iPhone 4 doesn't sound right at all. Did they replace the iPhone you had with a refurbished one? That's the only way I can see you getting a 4 from Apple or any carrier.

You should probably take a breath, ask the question you want to ask, and provide enough info so that your question can be answered.

Also, although I wish I was wealthy and rich, I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with the way your "POS" iPhone 4 works!

Anyway, I'm just writing this off as another misinformed person spouting off about something they know nothing about.....which is the majority of these posts.

Nonetheless while I would tend to agree with you and you as members can answer anyway you feel it to be a dignified answer without being offensive, We as Members representing our forum and Mobile Nations have to be careful and answer everything the best way we can and hope for the best - I hope you understand where I am coming from?

 

[pr1nce]

I tend to agree with most of what all of you have said. I also know that I have to assume that the OP is having real issues with their device. If the OP would calmly give us more information we might be able to help them. It does no one any good to revert to name calling. If the OP wants to give us a chance to help, great. If not, we'll move on.

Okay, well, welcome to iMore.

I'm SOOO irate at Apple and the fact that I was sold a "PRE OWNED" iPhone 4 as a brand new device.

Were you indeed sold a pre-owned iPhone 4 or did you receive a replacement device in like-new condition? If the latter, that is normal, but if you bought the device thinking it was new, you need to go back to where you purchased it and state your case.

And the P.O.S. WONT ALLOW ME TO DOWNLOAD A ""FREE"" app.

Make sure that you are logged in to the iTunes/App Store and are connected to the internet via Wi-Fi or cellular data. If you've never downloaded anything from the App Store, you will need to provide a debit/credit card or an iTunes gift card in order to download any apps, including any free ones.

The P.O.S. won't allow me to open the pre installed app.'s that it came with!! WTH is that all about??

I don't know. You should be able to open the Calendar, Reminders, iMessage or any other pre-installed apps. Have you tried turning the phone off and then turning it back on?

You have to be ""WEALTHY AND RICH"" to be able to use you're ""APPLE iPhone"" with an open line of credit???!!!!

I am proof that you do not have to be "wealthy and rich" to use an iPhone.

I'M SORRY BUT I SAY B***SH**!!!! As far as I'm concerned.. ""APPLE'S"" going to have one hell of a LAW SUIT on their hands!!

You can sue all you want, but the most you're going to get is a replacement device or assistance in getting the device you have to work like it is suppose to.

This is utter and inconceivable CRAP!!

Apple's customer service is outstanding. They will bend over backwards to assist customers who purchase their numerous products. Having said that, I recommend that you make a Genius Bar appointment with the nearest Apple Store and let them get your device up and running for you. In the meantime, if you care to provide us with more detail, we will do our best to help you.
