RE: TIL: My Secondhand Bought iPhone 5 Is Under Attack! (Original Blog)

in #til8 years ago

Thanks for commenting. I'm passed the activation process with typing in the apple id iCloud id with password, but immediately it shows that I need to input a valid Sim card, from the provider carrier who issued the phone which is AT&T but it never asked me for this before ever the entire time I've had this iPhone. I tried activating it without a Sim, do you have a method of doing so?

Sort:  

it's been a while since I've done it but i know its possible at least with older versions of IOS. It was something simple through the emergency call screen. Let me see if I can find the info again. I'll get back to you soon.

Okay thanks, I think I tried that earlier today by dialing 112 and then hitting the power button and then canceling call, but maybe i did it wrong or the directions I read weren't clear enough. I appreciate your help

Try going to the Apple Store

Indeed I shall, thanks

you might be able to just take it to an apple store to. Call your local store they should be able to give you a quick answer.

yeah, I must report to their infamous headquarters lol, I shall do that maybe in person, i was waiting on hold on the phone today way too long, you know how that goes…thanks for the suggestion
