Trading in my old phone

Hey guys I am trading in my 3GS, but have a question. When I connected it to iTunes, it still shows my current phone number thats now been ported to my Blackberry, why is this?

Sell is on ebay, you'll get much more than one of those trading sites like Mazuma

Also - Don't forget to wipe the phone, Wayne.

Re: Trading in my old phone

Good good

Make sure you choose that one and not a simple "Reset All Settings". It must be the full "Erase All Content and Settings".

Also, don't worry about it being very quick when it does it - from the 3GS onwards, a secure wipe simply requires a quick wipe of the encryption key, rather than a full overwrite of the entire storage space.
