Locked iPhone 5s off craigslist?
So i bought an iPhone 5s off of craigslist and as I shouldve expected it was locked. Tried everything even calling apple support and i can't contact the seller because they took down the ad. Anyway to bypass it
There are a lot of complaints like this about craigslist stay well away
No…
It's all part of the security and anti-theft stuff, specifically intended to make them worthless if stolen.
There's no way around it, other than the *real* last owner unlocking it via their own itunes account.
Apple support has nothing to do with this, the seller scammed you. Its probably a stolen phone, its super easy to check that so its something you should have verified before handing any cash to them. Lesson learned.
Nope.
Nope. You can still use your stolen phone as a doorstop or paperweight.
Alright - this is what happened to me. I dropped it. Flat on the screen, and it blacked out. I sent it to Apple Support, they fixed it right up, and it was reset. This was a complete miracle, so I don't encourage you to try it. But if it receives even impact flat on, it completely blacks out then resets.

- Sprint iphone bought off craigslist still active on other account? I bought a Sprint iPhone 4 off of Craigslist andwhen I took it up to Sprint I found out it was active on the guy who sold it to me, his account. He still owes money for his contract. They told me the only way it would work was for him to pay it off. Is this true? Could I get it jail broken and it work on my Sprint account?

- If I buy an iPhone off of craigslist can I get a nano-sim at walmart? Being the impatient college student that I'm, I'm trying to buy an iPhone 5s off of craigslist. Naturally, the Tmobile store is closed; can I get the correct nano-sim from walmart to activate it? I'm currently under contract at Tmobile so I'm not sure if they'd have to do it there or not.
