How to release iPhone from previous owner?
Ok, so I got an iPhone 4 from my boyfriend today; and I called Verizon and tried to activate it, and they said that it was still attached to the previous number, and that I would have to contact those people and yada yada yada. The thing is my boyfriend got it from him mom that he NEVER talks to, and she got it from a friend but neither of us know who… So we have no way to contact them… I need to know if there's some way for me to disconnect that other persons number (they didn't pay for it) and put the iPhone on my line?
Call the version store and explain!
- Locked Out Of iPhone 4? Can't Contact Previous Owner? I recently got an iPhone online. I can't contact the owner and the phone is still linked to their Apple ID. So, I can't use it. I already tried recovery mode. Didn't completely erase the phone. Still need Apple ID from previous owner. Can anyone tell me how to COMPLETELY erase it so I won't need the Apple ID or a passcode? I would truly appreciate it!

- Factory reset an iPhone 5 without previous owner's password? I'm not techy at all, so please keep it simple. My aunt's sister gave me an iPhone, but it has all of her a information on it. I really want to reset it and put my stuff on it, but I don't have her password. I asked her, but she doesn't remember it and it's too much of a hassle to keep bothering her over it. How can I reset it without her Apple ID password? I can't even sign out without it.
