Got unlocked IPhone locked to Bell Canada during activation - somehow to not pay ransom?

I bought a 6 iPhone s price full apple.ca store and it is unlocked and without a SIM card.

I put it in an old Bell Canada SIM to activate the phone and now it is locked to Bell so I can't use it with other carriers.

To unlock, Bell wants to find me someone who is a Bell customer and pay $50 unlock tax which is basically a ransom because I never signed anything with them and have never given my consent to lock my phone to them in the first place.

Bell said in the Canada, your phone will get locked to the first carrier used and it would be the same with Rogers for example and by their internal policy, they will unlock only the phones of their clients. How to practice.

Someone at - it had a positive experience, a similar problem?

Someone at Bell is wrong or lying. An iPhone purchased directly from Apple as unlocked, must not locked to ANY carrier. Despite the Bell news, I would contact Apple to make sure that you received exactly what you ordered.

  • IPhone 5s on BELL Canada

    like many, I have also screwed on a purchase of the iphone, but of course I started to read about it later... I bought an iPhone 5 used from someone on Usedregina.com

    They mentioned in their announcement that the phone is with BELL and it can be unlocked! I bought the phone as a gift for my wife and started the unlocking process by calling BELL. First, they said they will talk only of the account holder, and because I didn't have the BELL account, don't talk to me. I managed to get hold of the owner and she called them. I do not know what conversation they had, but I still unlocked phone with me. I tried to go to third party to unlock that they couldn't do it anymore because they believe the previous owner; s account is NOT yet CLEAR. Means that they pay the balance or left until BELL unlock this phone! Now, I'm stuck with this useless piece of technology... don't know what to do? I can't get my hands on the former owner (of course). I understand that this question cannot be linked to APPLE, but I thought that maybe someone is are crossed this situation.

    If I decide to return to BELL and to use their mobile services, you think I can get this phone unlocked? OR is it tied up for previous owner forever?

    Thank you

    Return it and get your money back. There is nothing that anyone can do about it. ONLY the carrier that it has locked may authorize to release. If they refuse, you're completely out of luck. If the previous owner jumped on their Bill, there is a good chance that you may not even use it with Bell at this point. They probably have blacklisted it.

  • Unlock iPhone locked to new carrier after?

    I asked that my iPhone unlocked my carrier. They sent me the instructions to unlock the phone, providing that when I unlock my phone and insert the SIM of the new carrier that the phone is locked to this new carrier. Is it really OK? I seem to remember to unlock a previous iPhone and unlocked once it is stayed unlocked.

    Thank you!

    N ° once it has been unlocked (legitimately), it has unlocked forever.

  • Can this company unlock iPhone locked?

    OK, so my iPhone 6 was stolen a few days ago

    As soon as I was aware I have connected on iCloud and then find my iPhone and lost in the mode. I also confirmed that he has been locked through https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/

    I'm worried sick that someone will be able to access it somehow and win all of my personal information. I just saw this company claiming to be able to bypass the iCloud lock:

    iunlockicloudlock. com

    They have a huge popularity on FB. So is this really possible by themselves or any other organization? I was under the impression if the phone is locked to that who - has pretty much a Clipboard. I'd be very worried indeed if this was not the case.

    < link published by host >

    So far, there were no cases audited anyone locking the Activation of cracking. Just because something is popular on the internet doesn't make true or sensitive.

    And, frankly, unless you state on your phone or a large number of fat Swiss bank accounts numbers, anyone trying to force the lock of activation on your phone tries to do in order to restore the phone and use it for themselves or to sell.

    Verizon only lights up iPhone 6 / 6 + and 6s / 6 s + tmobile.

    Verizon phones (except for some other 3 G phones they sell) require a SIM card. Any 4 G LTE phone requires a SIM card.

    You can activate it without a SIM card. If it is locked, it takes a SIM card by the carrier, for it is locked. The SIM card should not be linked to an active line of service, but it must be present to activate it.
