No @fjwhiston If apple had not made this lock, one of us could have a working iPhone. Doesn't matter if it was stolen. I paid so its apples fault. now NONE of us, me or the original owner has a working iPhone.
whats better?
A. locking the phone, original owner has lost it, buying it and not being to use it.
B. Locking the iPhone after its stolen, but now new owner cant use it or old owner cant.
C. The iPhone is locked, but instead of NOONE being able to use it "original owner or me", one of us has a working iPhone?
answer is C, but now nobody has a working iPhone, its a LOSE-LOSE scenario. WHICH IS COMPLETE RUBISH
Sorry, but your anger is 100% misdirected. Before Activation Lock, anyone could steal an iPhone (which happens every few minutes around the world), wipe it and set it up as their phone. How would you feel if your phone was stolen and you knew the thief could set it up?
Activation lock is just one of the great new features Apple has introduced in the last two years. You won't find a single person on this forum who thinks otherwise. If you live in California, ALL phones are going to be required to have a kill switch. ALL PHONES. That has been put in law by the California Legislature. Once activated, the kill switch will render that phone useless for all time.
If you have anyone you should be angry with it's ebay. They sold you a device you can't use and you need to return it to them and get a refund. Call them and complain until you reach someone who can fix this for you. You shouldn't be out $300. It's not your fault. But you can't be mad at Apple for what is clearly ebay's fault.

Is it possible to buy an iPhone in one country and then get a contract in another country to go online in the latter country?

In my case I bought one in China, could surf the internet in China with my Chinese contract, but when I returned to Germany and started a German contract, I couldn't use the intrernet anymore outside of Wi-Fi. I've already been to a shop of my phone supporter (Base), but they couldn't help me no matter how often they re-entered the APB-stuff and turned the phone on and off.

Apple has not yet announced the availability of unlocked iPhones in
the US, but they are for sale in Canada, parts of Europe, and elsewhere.
Warranty is not international. Service and repair/replacement only in
country of original purchase. LTE/4G may or may not work in other
country depending on bands and frequencies used.

HT201328 I bought my iPhone 4 on eBay and Vodafone say they cannot unlock it... they have referred me to Apple, but I am having no joy. Am I doing something wrong?

I have tried another sim but it remains locked.

Apple does not unlock phones... This is done ONLY by the Original Carrier that the phone is locked to.

So I bought an iphone 4 from ebay and when I got it it was already signed into an icloud account. When I contacted the seller he said he would try to get the password but i haven't heard from him. How can I sign out of her icloud w/out the password

How can i buy an iphone 5 of cdma and can i take d store near in my city jakarta indonesia

Please help
How can i buy an iphone 5 of cdma and can i take d store near in my city jakarta indonesia

According to this list, iPhone 5 CDMA versions are only available in the U.S., Japan, and Puerto Rico. The CDMA phone is Model A1429.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
Even if you get an unlocked A1429, it may not work with Indonesia's CDMA network, although it looks like it should work since the iPhone 5 CDMA model supports both CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B. You may need to take it to your service provider to set it up though.

<Edited By Host>

Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock
it. Contact them to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Apple does not unlock iPhones - wireless carrier has this responsibility.

HT204161 I bought an iphone 4s off ebay and cant unlock it

I bought an iphone 4s off ebay, and i cant unlock it because the previous owner got it second hand and that owner doesnt know the password. i have no way to contact that owner. I dont know how i am supposed to use the device because i cant get pass that. i didnt even know that it had this problem until i recieved it. What am i supposed to do?

Get a refund immediately.
You have probably been sold a previously stolen iPhone. It is Activation Locked as described here:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
Without the original owner's Apple ID and password being used to unlock it, the iPhone will remain forever useless to you.

There is nothing you can do, if you can not get the previous owner to unlock the phone from his account it is useless.

That is because the iPhone warranty is country specific. You will need to return to Singapore, or send it to someone you know there, to get it serviced.
