Second hand iPhone 7 activation lock?

So I bought a secondhand iPhone 7 and when I tried activating it, it had an activation lock. I contacted the previous owner and she had no idea what her stuff was. Anyway I can possibly connect it to iTunes and possibly solve the problem there? I need help!

No. Activation Lock is impossible to deactivate without the correct user credentials.

If the seller has made an honest error she should refund your money and take the phone back. If she doesn't then you've probably handed over your cash for a phone which still belongs to the rightful owner whi is likely not the seller; you should have tested the iPhone before you paid for it.

Nope. She would have to either reset her Apple ID & then send that info to you or you send back the phone for a refund since it would be otherwise useless to you.

  • What should I know before buying a second hand iphone 4? So I've found a good deal for an iphone 4 but the thing I'm worried about obviously is getting scammed. I'm pretty sure it's not a China product but what I'm worried is things like if the iphone 4 is unlockable or not, the IMEI is blacklisted(do i have to worry about this too?). What other factors should I include when buying this? ** i'm actually going to see it for myself
  • Price of second hand iPhone 4S? I'm going to sell my iPhone 4S at the end of 2012 because I will need to study for medicine. Anyway, how much should I sell it for? I've had it from February 2012 and I've always been gentle with it. It has a screen protector and no bad scratches. Has never been dropped, broken or submerged in water. Australian dollar value please
  • Main things to check on an second hand iphone 4? I'm buying a second hand iphone 4 from someone locally and going to their house to collect. What are the main things I should look for so I know it's all working? Is there anything they are known for, for breaking? How can I tell if the phone is on contract? As its being sold as PAYG. Sorry if I sound like an idiot, I just don't want to miss anything!
