is it safe to give our my serial number?

Hello Apple community,


Im currently going back and for on the classified ads trying to sell my Iphone

I feel that by revealing my serial number to the public as to verify my warranty period could be dangerous,

but still necessary in the sale of my phone?


Is it safe to give that info out?


Thanks


Sean

hi there,


I wouldn't mention the serial number in the ad, but if somebody show genuine interest in buying your phone it is safe to reveal that information.


Besides, it can be easily obtained from the Settings; General; Info pages. With the serial number one can check warranty status online using the Apple web site.


regards, Chris
