Question about Purchasing Phone on FB marketplace or kijiji
Hi all. (Sorry if this is not the right area to post this question)
So I am looking to save a bit of money and buy a new iPhone. On FB marketplace or kijiji I often times see people selling their new phone they just got when starting a new cell phone contract, but they decide to keep their old device instead and make some cash by selling the new phone. Is there any risk to purchasing the phone from them? Like what happens if they don't make their payments, can/will the carrier blacklist the phone? Or does it affect their account only? Is there a way to tell if the phone has been paid off before buying it? I want to save some money and get a new device, but I just want to make sure I don't end up getting burned. If anyone has any insight let me know! Thanks.
