Used iPhone with activation lock
I have proof that I bought the phone. It is on Facebook messenger. Would that work? If so, how would I send it in to apple?
As far as I'm aware, you would need a sales receipt from a store.
You need to contact the seller to sort that out. They may have sold you a stolen phone.
Doesn't matter if you can prove ownership, the phone MUST be wiped of the prior owners iCloud account or it is completely worthless to you. You need to take it back to whomever you bought it from.
You need to Contact the Seller they need to tell you how to Unlock it Apple is not gonna be able to Unlock it for you
The problem is, if it was stolen (ie the seller claims to not know where it came from) then the original owner's ownership of the device didn't end with the theft. It is still theirs, regardless of who has paid what for it.
Apple will say, if that was a legitimate seller, then they are the ones who need to go through the usual steps to recover/reset/wipe their accounts from the device.
Doesn't matter if you'll prove possession, the phone should be wiped of the previous house owners iCloud account or it's fully no-count to you. You wish to require it back to whomever to procure

- Who can tell me how to get past that activation lock on iPhone 5s? I have proof of purchase to an iPhone 5s I purchased from eBay. Apple informed me that they or my phone provider could bypass the activation lock and that is why I purchased the phone for a better price than buying brand new. Then neither the Apple store nor AT&T could help me with my problem. The seller hasn't been much of a help and will not give me the information I need to get past the activation lock, is there another way?
