Unlocked iPhone 5

Is $200 for an unlocked 16GB iPhone 5 a good price? Am checking to see if its a "s" or "c".
Edit: they said it is just an iPhone 5. Not c or s.
  • I'm not totally sure how you tell the difference. I have an iphone 4 that I unlocked and it installed the program Cydia on it, which is an alternative to the App store. My friend now uses it and doesn't care if the IOS is up-to-date. I then purchased an unlocked iphone 5c from Apple so I didn't need to worry about not updating.

    After a quick search on the internet, this site has more information http://www.jailbreakmodo.com/how-to-know-if-iphone-5-is-factory-unlocked-and-jailbroken.html

    Is there a way to find out if an iPhone is unlocked or jail broke?

    Not a bad deal if it's in good shape. You probably already know you can get them for $99 with a contract.
