I doubt they will be able to help, but OP might want to visit the Apple store?

There's really no point. There's nothing they can do. I've only ever heard of them unlocking on proof of purchase when it first came in and not sure they even do that any longer.

If they were selling a stolen phone how did they have the box and how was it in workable mode when I bought it? They would have had to know the user name and password to get the phone working themselves.

I truely believe its just a case of they sold it to me but forgot to take the activation lock off. And the price I didnt question because its so like new its unbelievable, its like I just got it new from the Apple store. I dont think its hardly been used. So I thought at the time £200 was a fair price. I have seen the exact model in CEX for £130 but it wasent mint condition like this one.

Indeed. People who steal phones never steal the boxes or know how to operate them.:cool:



You paid way over the odds, as has been pointed out time and again.

Swipe, but if they used to unlock on proof of purchase, what method did they use to unlock it? What I mean is there must be a way to unlock it without the persons ID and password. Yet everyone is saying its impossible.

No.


You are confusing different things.


As has been explained before.

oldernonethewiser yes I payed over the odds in hindsight, but that really doesnt prove it was a dodgy deal, or helps me in unlocking it. As I explained many tines I was blinded by the fact it was mint condition perhaps and easily parted with the cash.

But it doesn't suggest dodgy sellers.
