i don't think so. if it was bought on contract they only need your phone number to pull up your info. and i guess your email (apple id) or name to pull up your other info, and they'll just match up your serial. not sure how all this works when you buy one that's second hand though.

I went in once for a new phone exchange.
I asked the guy if they are new or refurbished. He said brand new....
Then I asked him how do I believe you?
He went to the back asked a manager something... came back with a brand new iPhone in box
Even let me keep the accessories.

Replacement iphone's come in black boxes without accessories.
The one he gave me was at the counter in a brand new box which was still shrink wrapped.

so i went kayak over the weekend and drop the phone into the water ( its in a wet bag but wasnt sealed properly so some water got into the bag even it floats on the water)
i dried it with rice and silica for 4 days and tried to turn on my phone yesetrday but no dice.
LED stays on when its charging or as long as it has power but phone couldnt be turn on at all.
what should i do now ?
i saw Crsytal mall has a shop does fix water damage, are these shop trustworthy or should i just go to apple store ?
i also saw a shop on E29th and rupert, VAN CELL or something, has anyone deal with them before ?

It would be like having a defective iPhone and trying to swap for an iPad. At least, this is what the system sees.

For example, when I got my iPhone replaced due to defective button, I took the new unit home and did a 'restore' on it. All the app data, email, contacts, msgs, everything was restored.
This is because I sync'd the old phone right before I brought it in to get it replaced.

^What if the old synced phone was an older OS and was jailbroken? What would sync if I connected the new unit at home?
Also, another noob question: My phone is currently running 4.2.1 (yea, very old) and jailbroken. I have two stuck pixels so I want to return it to the apple store. Would I just plug in my iPhone and click update (for the OS) and let it do it's thang? I don't really need anything saved except my contacts..
Instructions?

I never sync music personally, I like to control manually the songs that go on the iPhone since it's a lot different than my library on my main computer.
When you plug in your iPhone doesn't it say 'backing up', etc. Ie, everytime you plug in, it should be backing up the content.

I said this a few pages back I think, but it might help again.
I set up a GMail account solely for syncing contacts, notes, and calendar. (The three options that come with it.) This way, all my notes and calendar dates are sync'd between my iPhone and my iPad within minutes of changing them on one device. Contacts are sync'd right when I plug it into my computer.
This also means that if I do a complete reset of my iPhone (not from back-up), I still have my contacts, notes, and calendar intact and able to be easily sync'd directly from my GMail account.
