How to activate Iphone 5 shipped from Canada to Philippines

Hello,
How do I activate or open line my Iphone 5? I don't even know the apple I.D of the previous user of my Iphone 5. It came from Canada, it was a second hand Iphone. My auntie bought it from her friend I think and she didn't even ask for the apple I.D of her friend. So how do I activate this Iphone5?
I appreciate somebody who could help.
Thanks.

If it has been activated already and not released by the previous owner, it will be very difficult to make it yours. Especially if it has iOS 7 or newer. See if you can get it to erase itself on Settings / General /  Reset / Erase All Contents and Settings. If it works, you're in luck and can then set it up as new. Else you will be stuck with a brick. Maybe the previous owner, if reachable, can carry out as much as she can of this:  What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Your friend did an unofficial unlock and it has now locked back to the original cell carrier. You need to call AppleCare, give them the model and serial number of the iPhone and find out which cell carrier it is locked to. Then contact that cell carrier and see what the process is to officially unlock the iPhone and if you qualify.

    how to activate iphone through itunes when u enter a wrong password?

    Hello Jacky lou
    If you cannot activate your iPhone with cellular service, then check out the first article to sort you out. If it deals with Activation Lock, then you will need to enter in the password correctly to get passed that point. Check out the second article for more information on Activation Lock.

  • Shipping From Canada to the US

    Hello, I was wonder if I can ship from Canada to my friend in the U.S?
    I really wanted to use the engraving option and I have been struggling to find a solution for this.
    Also, I don't own a credit card, but I was wondering if I can purchase say a $200 prepaid visa card and then a $25 one (Since the purchase will go above $200) and then use that as my method of payment?
    If this is not possible, then would there be any other solution for this?
    Please please help me out.
    Thanks lots! :]

    The Canadian Apple Store will ship only to Canadian addresses. You would have to order the iPod and have it shipped to you - you'll need to call the Apple Store to discuss payment options - and then send the iPod to your friend yourself.
    Regards.

    How can an iPhone 4s ios6 be activated without sim card

    If the phone is carrier locked, you need a SIM from the carrier it's locked to to activate it. You can not activate it at all without a SIM. That's the way it works. It's a phone.

  • How to Activate iPhone in India

    My Best friend has brought Apple iPhone with 8 GB memory for me when he visited states. After I received I found that it is not working in India. So can any one will tell me how to activate in India ?

    No they will not, Apple does not endorse or offer the iPhone for use in your country. Sorry I know it sounds harsh but that is how it is. The iPhone is made to work with each individual country it was designed for.. Sorry to say but your friend wasted his or your money. Depending on the firmware he bought you might not even be able to unlock it. I would suggest trying to return it to Apple for your money back.
