Locked iphone
We live in Australia, my son purchased an iphone and now seller has ghosted him. When he tried to put in his sim card after sale, it came up locked. we contacted Apple who said T-Mobile has a lock ...
Only the original purchaser of the device can pay a debt on the device because that debt is tied to their account. Is it SIM locked or us the device blacklisted for nonpayment? Either way, T-Mobile can not help you resolve this. Keep trying to contact the seller and return it to them. Whatever platform you purchased it from. See if they have some sort of buyer guarantee for situations like this.
