How can I unlock my old Iphone 5 for free?

It has photos that I now want to recover but can't remember password and want to avoid paying to unlock it and definitely can't erase anything from the phone.

If you used iCloud at all during the time you had the phone, you might have also synced the photos up there. Sign in to iCloud.com with your Apple ID. If you find the photos up there, you can sync them down to your PC with the iCloud for Windows app.

Unlock? No, you don't need that unless you want to use the phone with a different carrier.

  • Old iPhone with old sim card? Mum just got a new iPhone, so gave her old one to my sister. My sister did not have an appropriate sized sim card, so they guy at the store cut it down. Mum's new sim card is working, but when we put my sisters in the old phone, it just keeps saying no service. What do we do? Can we use it or not?
  • I've been so fustrated with trying to get my old iCloud account off my old iPhone I forgot the password and recovery key to my iCloud account. I've called Apple and sent a receipt for proof of purchase, but they said it's invalid, because the SN doesn't match which doesn't make sense. Is there another way to just erase everything off the phone myself?
  • I can't unlock my old iPhone? Last Christmas I got a new iPhone 5c so I put my iPhone 4 just locked up in a cabinet but my girlfriend has a crappy LG so I was going to give her my old phone but when I got it out it said disabled and won't let me do anything! Is it because I haven't used it in a while or what because I thought if you got a new phone the carrier just switched over but you could still use it like an iPod touch kind of? So any advice helps, please and thank you!
