Found iPhone, can i activate it on my network?
I found an iphone at the mall like a year ago (forgot about it) and have tried to contact the person who it originally belonged to recently and have had no luck. I believe the phone was on T-Mobile. I have Verizon, so if I still can't find the owner, or assuming the owner found a new phone a year later. Would I be able to activate the phone onto my network? & how?
Added (1). It's an iPhone 4 btw
Added (2). Yeah i know, but if your iphone was unlocked and you had a tmobile sim card you could activate it on tmobile (i've done it before) is there NO way possible? The phone has a sim card slot so it's GSM, could i just change the sim? Or do i have to jailbreak it?
Tmobile didn't have the iphone a year ago, its probably att.
there's no way to make a att iphone work on Verizon.
also if it was reported lost or stolen it will be blcklisted and useless as a iphone.
if your in PA and need a Verizon iphone, email me I have a few for trade or sale
You need to take it to a shop to get it unlocked as it will be locked to that micro-sim if you already have a nano-sim just put it in by finding a small hole (not the one next to the headphone jack, thats the microphone!) and put a paperclip into it. A small tray will pop out contaning the old nano-sim replace it with yours and you're good to go!
If you don't have a nano-sim you can buy one or get one for free from your carrier.
.
If you can't find the sim tray you may need to open the back… This will require a small screwdriver
- I found an iPhone and I can't activate it without the previous owners info I found an iPhone 5s and I restored it to keep it. I was setting it up and the phone said "Active iPhone" it's linked to the previous owners ID and was wondering if I could bypass this or something? Anything will help.
- I found an iPhone 7 how can I activate it? It was a females phone and she didn't have a passcode on it. II have already took the sim out of it. Should I hook it up to my computer, I have an iTunes account.
- 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
