I plan on selling my 3G S first and then purchase the iphone 4 with that money that I get. Is there a way to deactivate the phone before I sell it? If so what can I do to deactivate it? I still have my old iphone 3G that i plan on using while the 3G S is being shipped to the buyer and until I receive the iphone 4.
When I sold my 3GS, I reset it. Basically you will be putting the 3GS back to the same condition that it was when it was new and just taken out of its box. To do this you can do ONE of the following.
Either one of these:
1. On the iPhone. Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.
Or:
2. Connect your phone to itunes and restore as a "new" device, do not sync when finished. Either will produce a phone just like it came out of the box. 🙂
When you have done one of the above, the person who buys your 3GS will have to connect it to iTunes to reactivate it.
I got the iPhone 4 on launch day and I find its a worthwhile upgrade from the 3GS, its a superb bit of kit the iPhone 4 🙂
