Bought an used iphone, how do i unlock it so i can use it?
I bought an iphone 4s from a friend and i want to use it but it says i need the original apple id to use it and i can't get it because the person who sold it to me doesn't know it because they bought it from someone too.
Added (1). i think it's reported lost & it's from at&t.
Added (2). i restored it but it still won't let me use it.
Get an unlock code.
If you don't have that then you can't restore it as your own.
Do your homework next time before you throw your money away.
Are you sure your friend bought that from someone? If your friend can't find the first owner, go to the nearest apple service center.
Well don't know what you could do in that case. If at all possible you'd have to get into contact with that original owner.
Are you referring to iCloud lock or SIMLock or both? It can be removed. Look around, eBay or the site below. Please do not Google that as you would find many cheaters as well. But eBay is secure and the link I'm attaching as well.
Beware: if it is stolen you might not be able to use it even after the unlock (in case it is BLACKLISTED)
- My Iphone Broke, if i bought a used iphone could I put my sim card into that one and use it? So I have at&T and my iphone broke. I temporarily would like to buy a used 4s to use to for a little while before I buy a brand new iphone. If I bought a used Iphone 4s could I put my old sim card in and use it?

- I bought a second hand iPhone, how do I unlock it and use it? I'm talking about unlocking it for use on any carrier. I'm happy to have it, just don't know how to get rid of the AT&T stuff and put it back to basics before I use it with my current provider.
