How to set up a found verizon iphone 5/5s to my phone number?
I recently found a verizon iphone 5/5s (don't know the difference) and I want to change the iphone to my number. I have a Verizon account and I already restored the phone but I'm unsure of the next step.
You more than likely will not be able to use it because anyone with half a brain would have already reported the phone as lost/stolen and it would be useless as Verizon will blacklist it.
1. Verizon (CDMA) phones require activation from the carrier to be able to switch numbers/carriers & of course they aren't going to do that in this case.
2. Even if they did, the iCloud activation lock would prevent you from doing anything without the owner's Apple ID/password
- With my new iPhone 7 plus if I set it up as a new phone instead of moving my iCloud data to the new phone would I lose my? Unlimited data plan and phone number or would that still be there I already put my SIM card in 10 points
- Switching number from Verizon to Straighttalk AT&T. How to keep my old number? Right now, I have a Verizon noncontract phone. I'm buying an iPhone 4 from a friend which is on the Straighttalk AT&T micro sim plan. I'm moving to the Straighttalk AT&T plan and need to know how to get my number changed over and where to get a new micro SIM card from.
- I bought my daughter an iphone 5c.Do i set up the Apple id/password first, or buy the plan, then set it up? I have bought Iphones before. But i didn't set them up. Do i by the plan, usually $40.00 first, then do the Apple id/password? Or vice versa?
- How to set up a used iPhone with my phone number? I'm on Verizon and have a data plan for a Droid. I recently have purchased a used iPhone 4 from a friend of mine, and would like to use it as my phone. Can someone please explain to me how I can use the iPhone with my current phone number and potentially same data plan?
