how do i get around getting caught if my iphone breaks while its jailbroken?

Q. ok, i bought an iphone 3gs and i had a friend jailbreak it for me, i also bought the insurance on the phone. but what should i do if the phone breaks while its jailbroken? i know if you have jailbroken iphone it voids your warrenty but im pretty sure thier is a way around it. all of you hackers and modders out there help!

A. Your warranty and insurance are 2 completely different things. Jailbreaking voids your warranty. However, the warranty does not cover any physical damage. It covers manufacturer's defects and software issues. In the past, Apple has often turned a blind eye toward jailbroken iPhones with warranty issues. Given their latest assault on the jailbreaking community, that may be changing.

Insurance is something that's only available from 3d parties. If the insurance policy voids when you jailbreak, you had better believe that the insurance company will be examining the phone under a microscope to see if your claim can be denied. That's what insuirance companies do.

Lost an iphone 3GS, how much will it cost to buy a new one?
Q. i recently lost my iphone 3GS which i bought less than a month ago. To buy a new one will i be able to pay the orig price of $199 and keep my number? i have a family plan btw.Will my warranty do anything to help?

A. You will have to pay full price. That's about $600. Your warranty only covers manufacturer's defects. You should have bought insurance from a 3d party.

It may be cheaper to cancel your contract, pay the ETF and start over.

What happens if a seller on ebay doesn't accept returns but mislabels auction?
Q. I bought an iPhone 3gs on ebay which states it's brand new never used but after receiving it today it's obviously been used. Still in great shape overall but NOT new like auction stated. Can I still get my money back or am i SOL?

A. I am a power seller on Ebay. I always am 100% honest and stand behind what I sell. For that reason I have 100% perfect feedback. I always check others feedbacks before I bid which will tell you a lot about the seller. It is a red flag if they have more than one or two bad feedbacks.

Having said all that, the buyer has more power than the seller. A seller a can no longer leave bad feedback, YOU can as a buyer. Also, as a buyer, if you paid with pay pal, you are 100% covered. You go on paypal and go to the dispute section. It will ask you why you are disputing the item and it has a place to click for "Item not as described". The seller then has 7 days to make things right with you, paypal will ask you to send the item back to the seller ( At your own expense ) and send with proof of delivery or you might never see your item again. Once you proved they got it back, then paypal will almost always refund your money.
