Either you get the original owner to carrier unlock the phone (the carrier might unlock it for you, without the owner but doubtful) or you return the phone for a refund to the seller.


If you cannot do either, you have a useless phone. You could probably still use it as an "iPod" with wifi.

Nobody here can help you as no one on this forum works for Apple, and Apple will not release the info of the account holder. You have a useless phone. Turn it in to the police as it is probably a stolen phone.


There is nothing more to do here. Have a nice day.
