You knowingly are receiving potential stolen property. Its a felony.
It'll work. If it doesn't I would take it to the dodgy middle-eastern gentleman shop that seems to sell everything. They are professionals for some reason.
I'm not sure if you can do that plus they can go to there computer (the owner of the phone) and track it down, but you said it's at the lock screen so I'm sure if they can do that either. I'm thinking you can only do it to a phone that's deactivevated.
Once the phone is factory reset / restored its like a new phone. They wouldn't know unless the person reported it to att and went threw all the hassel. You're probably good to go.
Firstly you need to factory unlock this device, then you can activate it with ANY sim card. UnlockBoot can unlock barred / blocked / stolen iPhones.
- My iphone 4 was stolen and found, why would I have to pay pawn shop? My iphone 4 was stolen from a subway(Ocoee, Florida) restraunt since then it has been found pawned in a pawn shop in Orlando, Florida. I'm being told I have to pay $50 to get it back from pawn shop, is this right? Is this a law to protect pawn shops losses from accepting stolen property?
- Iphone - buying an iphone offline from Apple and buying a sim only? Does it not work out cheaper, to buy the handset offline, and have a sim only contact and buy a nano chip separately? if you buy it from the apple store do you have to pay vat? what is the cache?
- I got an iphone 5. Found out it was stolen what should I do? I traded my ps3 for an iphone 5 but I found out it was stolen. I got a SIM card I gave the imei number and they told me its on tha black list or block list what is that? Can't I just activate the SIM card and put it on the iphone? If not then what can I do with the iphone?
- I found a found and nobody called. ITs been a month. What should i do? I found a iphone 5 and i factory reseted it after nobody called for about a month. A message from the owner showed up after reseting it and I called that number and texted it repeatedly but no answer. So i'm thinking of giving it to my sister since her phone broke but its locked from icloud. What can i do? I have the phones MEID & IMEI number. - What are my options? Its a waste to just throw it away.
