bought used iphone se.

[spaceman]

found out it was on sprint.
tried putting in vzw sim
doesnt work :c
call sprint, phone is locked under contract/etc.
impossible probably to get money back for it
imei unlock work?(the paysites)
phone isnt blacklisted,
specifcally looking at iphoneimei etc.
it isnt blacklisted or icloud locked.

 

[spaceman]

thanks in advance.
this lock stuff is infuriating

Well, all I can say is good luck.
Where did you buy the phone in the first place?
While it isn't blacklisted now, doesn't mean that it won't be reported stolen at a later date, then, you are really screwed.

The 'unlock' codes might / might not work, there is no way to tell ahead of time.

Try https://www.unlockbase.com/unlock-phone/iphone/iphone-se/. It worked for me in the past on a Sprint iPhone.

I would have sold you my mint barely used iPhone SE (including box/everything) but it's currently locked to AT&T/Cricket.

How'd you pay for it?

Did you ask what carrier it was for and got lied to? Or just misread the offer?

 

[spaceman]

cash and i was told it was clean, but i should have done my due diligence..it was a young 20something and..yeah :/
