IPhone 5s Sprint Lock

Hi, I got a iPhone 5s From Freind, but i cant use the phone, it say its lock what is that

That means it can only be used on Sprint. If you're not a Sprint customer, then there is no way to get it legally unlocked. Give it back to your friend and get your money back if you paid for it.

    what is a good way to unlock it as i am in UAE now

    Don't waste your time, as I've already stated, Sprint WILL NOT autrhorize the unlocking of your sim slot.
    You wasted your money. Return the phone for a refund, if you can, otherwise, sell it to someone that can use it on Sprint's network in the US.

  • Iphone 5 sprint unlock international

    hi

    in saudi arabia most of our devices from at&t

    Sprint will only unlock it for current Sprint customers in good standing.
    If you are not a Sprint customer, then they will not unlock it.
    Why in the world did you buy a phone locked to a carrier from another country to begin with?
    Stop buying gray market imports and buy a phone in your own country from an authorized source.

  • How to unlock iphone 6 Sprint?

    Last November, I bought an iphone 6 Sprint when I visited USA. However, it was a locked iphoned. Now, can I unlock it? If I can, please show me the way to do. I'm in Vietnam. Thank you very much!

    Ask Sprint to unlock it. If they won't do so or you can't reach them, it isn't possible to unlock it.

    My Iphone 4 has locked me out. Homescreen will show up but cannot get slider to open keypad. SOmetimes if I tap enough things the key pad will display. When I enter the passcode it will not register. If I hit each passcode number twice it will register but then tells me I have the wrong code. I also have boxes and rectangles that appear to highlight items which never used to come up. Anyone have any experience with something like this?

    Wow! Its impressive for you to load iOS 4.2 onto the iPhone 4S. How did you do that?
    Moving along, press and hold both the power button and home button together for about 10 seconds. Then, press the power putton to turn it back on.

  • After 04 months of purchase of iphone 5 the lock button is too hard. At times its not working at all. The phone has been purchased in USA now I'm not getting service in India. After all whats the point in spending so much amount without any service.

    The warranty says that Apple may restrict service of an iPhone to the country of sale, and any reliable salesperson will tell you that if you tell them that you plan to use the iPhone in another country. Such service restrictions are common with cellphones and are by no means limited to Apple's phones.
    Sorry, but if your iPhone requires service, you will need to send it to someone you know in the US who can get it serviced and then send it back to you.
    Regards.

  • I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

    is it possible to change imei number?
    i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

    If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
    The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
    With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Erase your device
    Reactivate and use your device
    This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
    What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
    If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
    Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
    While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
    To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
    For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.
