Looking for a old cell phone, hopefully someone has one in a junk drawer. I have an iPhone now and after a recent update my phone now will not turn on, so I'm effectively out of contact if I'm not with my wife or sitting at my desk at work. Buying another $1,000 phone isn't in the cards right now. I don't necessarily need another smart phone, I'd settle for a old flip phone, I just need some way to stay in contact. I'm in the Murfreesboro area right now, but will be in Nashville on Wednesday and Dickson on Thursday.聽

  • Be very wary of people who contact you privately to offer an item for sale.聽 Every single time someone has been scammed via a Want To Buy ad on TGO, the scammer has done it privately.聽 Force them out into the open so that the other members and moderators can help make sure they pass the sniff test.
  • Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.聽 Negative feedback should inspire caution.聽 Come back and聽leave feedback聽for each other after the transaction is complete.聽 Your experience will help others.
  • NEVER, EVER agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!!聽 None of them, that we are aware of, will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.聽 They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.聽 DON'T DO IT.

The complete Trading Post Rules and also some more helpful suggestions can be found by clicking this link.聽 Everyone should read them at least once!

I know you said you couldn't swing $1,000 for a new phone right now, but I just want to make sure you are aware of the iPhone SE line. You can buy it directly from Apple for $429.

Depending on how much you were planning on spending, a few extra bills may get you to this. This would get you a brand new phone with warranty vs buying an older used phone that may not make it much more than a few months without issue. Since you live in Nashville you should be able to swing by one of your Apple Stores to purchase one.

But if the update somehow messed up, it is possible you could hook your current phone up to a computer in DFU mode, restore the phone, and then fix it (assuming it is a simple software corruption).

I'd try this first as it would be exactly $0.00 if it works.

Warning: Putting an iPhone into DFU mode and restoring via iTunes/Finder will result in possible data loss dependent upon how/whether you have backups via local/iCloud. But if the phone currently does not work I'm not sure you have anything to lose.
