I have an iPhone 5s that is approx. 4 years old, never been used, never even been turned on. Verizon pre-programmed it with a specific phone number, but it requires ditching your current phone in order to activate.
I wish to send it cross country to the person for whom I originally got it. Was wondering if anyone can help me...? Questions:
1. Will the battery still be good? 2. Should I check the battery before sending it, and charge it if it's dead? 3. What's the best way to send it? I know how to package it, but can I send it via USPS? 4. If I tell USPS that it's a cell phone, will they ship it or not? 5. If not USPS, what are my best alternatives?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated...
Search the Apple web for battery issues.....Certain models have dud batteries that Apple will replace.... Vut the hassle etc is really testy. Easier to fire it up. If it is dead, find some of the local fix-it shops in town who can fix this as you wait, with less hassle
Amazon or ebay replacement battery about 15.00 instructions on the net on installation
