Every week at our St Marys repair counter, Sydney buyers bring in a second-hand iPhone purchased privately on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree that suddenly stopped making calls 30 days later due to an unpaid carrier plan or remote corporate MDM lock. Buying from a NSW Fair Trading Licensed Second-Hand Dealer (#2PS2914401) eliminates every one of those traps.

1. Six Critical Checks Performed on Every PRC Unlocked Handset

  1. NSW Licensed Identity & Statutory Hold Registry: Every intake is logged under NSW Second-Hand Dealer Licence 2PS2914401 with verified ID provenance.
  2. Australian AMTA National IMEI Clearance: Verified unblocked across Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone Australia.
  3. Zero Apple Activation Lock & Zero Remote MDM Supervision: Guaranteed free of corporate Apple Business Manager or Microsoft Intune profiles.
  4. True Battery Cycle & Load Verification: Bench-tested for real capacity rather than spoofed battery health readouts.
  5. Microscope Liquid Contact & Logic Board Audit: Checked by technicians with 18+ years of experience in Sydney.
  6. 4G VoLTE Triple Zero (000) & Band 28 Compliance: Confirmed Australian regional and metro network compliant.
