Phone Swapping.

[icewhitenewyear]

So, i might be swapping a phone with someone on XDA. I would like to know how someone would go about this.

I believe the rules are everyone puts their keys in a bowl and the lady picks a set of keys and goes home with that keys' gentlemen.

hmmm, i believe the OP said PHONE swapping... but i like your idea better.

now on a serious note

Your going to do what?!?!?

Seriously, make sure you know what your getting in to. Is the other person a respected member of here? Its the internet, BE CAREFUL.

Also XDA will not be responsible or held liable for any deals gone bad. Your an adult (hopefully, if not then get your parents permission) use common sense, etc. And dont forget to where a condom and bring vaseline in case you get screwed!

The time honored tradition of bartering does not work well over the Internet as it's easy to be mislead or scammed.

If you can meet that person physically and inspect the device before swapping, it's highly recommended. As we have members from all parts of the world, it is highly possible to find someone local to you who would be interested.

As for Internet swaps w/o physical inspection, I'd try to avoid it. Remember, even though a person is a highly respected member here, they're still a stranger, so be smart about it.

Good luck!

Being your swapping for a device that probably costed you a good bit of money, make sure you take the above advice from the mods. Otherwise, I'd go to my carrier and swap it out. Paying the difference in price could very well be the best idea. The device could be damaged internally or bugged!
