Found Boost mobile iPhone 5c, want to activate but I can't
My aunt found an iPhone 5c that i would like to use as my phone. It was found two months ago and was factory reset shortly after found. I went to go try and activate it at my local boost mobile store but was unable too.
The phone is apparently still linked to this persons account and the man at Boost Mobile said I needed the 4 digit pin for the account accociated with the phone activation to switch it over…
Is there any way i can completely wipe out the phone as if it was fresh out of the box and associated with no one? I have a boost max and i literally can't stand the size of it and would be happier with this small phone lol.
and no there's no way i can try and return the phone to its original owner because there were no contacts or texts on the phone when i received it
plus we're in a city 5 hours away from where it was found!
Nothing you could do. ICloud Activation Lock would prevent you anyway.
So why was it "factory reset shortly after found"?
- If I buy an iphone on boostmobile.com will I need to activate it with boost mobile? I went online and I saw the price of the iPhone 6s plus was $549 so I was thinking about buying the phone online and activate it with T-mobile can I do that?
- If I buy an iphone (not from the boost mobile store) can I connect it to boost mobile? Lets say I buy an iphone that isn't connect, will I be able to get it within the boost mobile network? Or is their more to it
- I found an iPhone 6s but it has a network lock so i can't activate it. How do i find out its carrier to request an unlock? I'm unable to find out its number when i try to activate it it says sim not supported and if i take the sim out it said i need a sim if i connect it to my laptop it tells me the same thing how do i come up with funny jokes
- I found an iphone 4 and i need to know if i can activate it with t mobile or att? I found this iphone 4 and its look new and i myself have a crappy metro phone. I'm thinking of switching to tmobile or att or any other gsm carrier other there that takes sim cards. Like simple mobile or straight talk. But i dunno if i will b able to activate it. How do i know. Can i do it?
