That should be all that you'd need to do. It will probably be ok to ship put of the country. Just make sure that you pass the fees over to the buyer.

Yes, but also any tax/duty that would be charged when the phone arrives in the UK.
With regards to the erasing of data, yes, all you need to do is a restore, but i f were selling my iPhone, i would have done a DFU restore ... just for my satisfaction

Hope that helps.

Restore

What is a DFU restore?

Don't forget to remove the SIM card before mailing it out.

What is a DFU restore?

Putting the phone into restore mode by:

1. Turn the phone off
2. Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds
3. Keep holding the power button and also hold down the home button for 10 secs.
4. Let go of the Power button and keep holding down the home button until iTunes recognizes an iPhone in restore mode (should be about 10 seconds... can take up to 30 though).
