  • I recently paid ~$120 for over 75 untested phones from Goodwill... and oh boy, people leave so much stuff on their old phones. You won't believe what I found on some of these... 😳
    I'm planning to do a WhatNot auction where I auction off a bunch of the phones from this lot. If you sign up using my link, you'll get a $15 credit to use on anything! www.whatnot.com/invite/jacobr
    To find and bookmark my upcoming stream, search for my profile "jacobr" and click on my stream called "Tons of PHONES" and bookmark it. You will be able to bid on items during the auction, and I will likely have some stuff in the Buy Now section as well soon.

      It’s scarily common for people to not reset their phones when they give it to recyclers, I repaired a lot of older iPhones and majority weren’t reset (in fact, one HAS an Apple ID lock to another person’s Apple ID, but they didn’t set a passcode so I’m keeping it and just haven’t reset it)

    11:52 The reason you can’t touch anything is because that iPhone has a factory issue called “Touch IC” it’s pretty common on the iPhone 6 series and causes that screen flash at the top, it only can only be fixed with soldering on the logic board, a screen replacement won’t fix it.

    • @SmokinSilicon

    There's one flipphone, the Samsung W2019 (android of course, also a full size screen on the front), that was only ever sold in china & still costs a bit. So i had to import one here to australia, a Rose Gold one. Had to manually put Google Play services on it since those aren't on them normally, and have been using mine for 4 months as my primary phone, and is a pretty nice one. Not your ordinary flip phone for sure.

    Old tracfone cellphones only will allow you to use the phone if you have the original sim card that came with the phone, so buying a sim for the LG 440G would be futile because its useless without its original sim card. It's a really stupid rule.
