Alternative method to activate iphone 4 without previous owners apple id?
I recently bought an iphone 4, but in order for me to get into it i need to sign into an apple id to activate the phone. I tried to sign into my own but i was unable to, it says i need to sign into the previous owners id first.
i was just wondering if there was any way around this? As i'm unable to contact the seller that sold it to me.
I would recommend you get a refund from ebay if thats where you got it. It is a security feature in case the iphone is stolen, it has to use the apple id that was associated with the iphone.
That means the phone is stolen.

- Setting up an iPhone after resetting it without using previous apple id? Ok, so my title doesn't really make sense but here's my situation. I recently sold an iPhone 4 on ebay and obviously I want to reset it. However, I have been told that after you reset it, you'll have to use the original apple ID you started with. Is this true? If it is, how do I do make it so that you can use any apple ID to set it up?
