Cannot find previous owner email or password how do I activate with my new sim card

I cannot find previous owner to unlock and activate my new sim I do have the old number associated with previous owner its 785-214-8566

Little antenna is still intact. Everything looks good on that part. If I take it out the bars go grey. Yes this system was working fine with very good download speeds up to 1mb/sec (usually 400 to 700 kbps) up until a few days ago.

HT201328 My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?

My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?

You cannot. The iPhone is locked to Softbank, and only they can unlock it. Problem is that Softbank will NOT unlock the phone, as they do not offer iPhone unlocking.
Buy an iPhone in the Phillipines.
PS Before you go on a rant at Apple, be aware that Apple does NOT unlock phones and they do not set unlocking policies. The carriers (Softbank in this case) set the unlocking policy.

If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
you need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

Does anyone know how to make my old blackberry curve 8900 work with my new sim card that has been set up on my 9360?

i hate my new blackberry 9360 it never gave me a days hassle and i want to use it for the remainder of my contract as the 9360 is just a pain and full of problems and no matter what i do i cannot get an alternative phone despite the fact that i am a high spender with loyalty of over 10 years to my supplier. i do not want to use a fixed second hand phone. the reason we get a new phone is emphasis on new.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

back to using a proper phone - please make some more blackberrys like the old 8900 as it is a sturdy, reliable phone.
so my paid for brand new but got second hand repaired 9360 will sit in a box for two years.

How to restore a older backup with a new SIM

Hi everyone!
I have a problem. I have a Iphone 4, which I bought with a contract in the UK. I recently went to a shop to unblock it (I live in France now)
Before I unlocked it I made a back up (i am new to this stuff) and now my phone is working with a new SIM card but when I do a back up from the Itunes, nothing comes back. I only see the apps that I downloaded in my Itunes, but no texts/emails/messages/photos. I made a newer back up/sync after that by mistake. But that wouldnt be a problem right? I can choose an older back up but it doesnt do much....
I tried it once before I dropped my phone at a shop to unlock it, and I could restore it but it took 3 hours so I cancelled. If I restore my backups now, it only takes a few seconds. So I think it is lost??
So somebody, please help me. I dont know what to do! I lost all my contacts etc...
Please...!
Cheers
Marie

How do i find previous owner of iphone 5 so they can take the phone i bought off craigslist and take it off their account so i can use it.

how do i find previous owner of iphone 5 so they can take the phone i bought off craigslist and take it off their account so i can use it.

The same way you found them to buy it - use whatever means you
used to accomplish the purchase on craigslist.
Apple cannot/will not give you the information about any previous
owner(s) of the iPhone.
When/if you do contact them, here is what the previous owner needs
to do:
Backup the device to iTunes or iCloud, if desired: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
Settings > FaceTime > Off
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (this only unregisters and deletes it off the iPhone)
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings

Just sign the old user ouf of the store, and sign back in with your AppleID and password.
Just scroll down to the bottom of the store screen, click on the Apple ID bar, click on sign out, then sign back in with your AppleID.
Note though that if the phone already has apps on it purchased by the previous owner, those are permanently tied to the previous owners Apple ID - you would need their password to update any of those apps. The only option to you to update any of them would be to delete them, and purchase them yourself using your own Apple ID.

How does one find previous owner can i find them through serial number?

is there a way to find previous owner with serial number on i pad? or do i need to bring it back to pawn america

No you can not track the original owner via the serial number.
If you are having problems you need to take it back to where you purchased it.

The previous owner doesn't need to give you their credentials. They can release the device via Find My iPhone on iCloud.com as per the instructions in the link I posted in my initial response: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner
If the previous owner is not present
Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed.
Click the Erase button to erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, don't enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device is erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
If the person you bought it from refuses to do this, I would assume the device is stolen and I would demand a refund and/or contact the authorities.
