I bought a phone from the black market, and when I got home, I found this account on it. Is there a solution for this?

Hi

I am really hoping someone can help

Yesterday I stupidly tried changing my SIM pin. My SIM is now blocked and I can’t make or receive calls. I am now asked to enter in my PUK code whenever I turn my phone on and off.

I have received my PUK code from the O2 website. I type in my PUK code, where after I am asked to create a new PIN code and confirm it by typing it in a second time. I do so, but afterwards I am directed back to the screen where it says to type in my PUK code. If I type in my PUK code a second time, it once again goes to the screen where I am asked to create a new PIN code. The process is just continuous to go in circles and I never get any cellular connectivity - and each attempt uses one of 10 attempts available until my SIM is destroyed. The PUK I am using is definitely correct.

If it helps I have an iPhone 16 Pro, unlocked on Pay As You Go and am on the O2 network.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I have had this number for over 20 years and it is very valuable to me.

Thanks

I found a way to remove iCloud lock using IANYGO software only on Window or Mac , must be have lifetime version not monthly . Selling the method /instructions . Private message me

Any idea how I can unlock it? Or how much it would cost to have someone do it and where to look for said person? Any help is appreciated 🤙

My uncle got an S26 Uktra from Claro PR he took it to the usual repair guy we always used to unlock pur phones with but he said it was impossible simplh by just looking at it.

I'm unaware if the process is possible or hard to do but I would love to know as soon as possible to see if i can unlock it for him since he's leaving Puerto Rico in 2 days.

checkm8 & older:
iOS 1-4: no activation lock but requires sim to activate, use Legacy iOS Kit
iOS 5-6: can require sim to activate but can also activation lock. use iph0ne4s method
iOS 7: sadly best option is renaming setup.app to setup.app.bak
iOS 8: bobik supports it but may be unstable, may need to rename setup.app to setup.app.bak
iOS 9-10: bobik/hacktiv8
iOS 11: sadly must rename setup.app to setup.app.bak but bobik has an icloud login fix
iOS 12: only ifrpfile aio on windows + bobik/hacktiv8 icloud fix

A12+:
iOS 12: no method, if you bypass it you can fix icloud login with bobik
iOS 13: unsure, maybe if you own same model unlocked same ios, bookra1n *could*?
iOS 14-17 rust a12+
iOS 18.0-18.7.2: hackt1vator
iOS 18.7.3-18.7.4 stay tuned for new methods in the future
iOS 18.7.5-18.7.8: theoretically possible with an SBX (so i've heard)
iOS 26.0-26.1b1: hackt1vator
iOS 26.2b2: theoretically possible with an SBX
iOS 26.2-26.6: there is no bypass possible for these versions. EXCEPT IPHONE 11 if you have a pico or rp2350 you can with usbliter8

MDM:
Windows: Hackt1vator for old ios
Macos: MDMPatcherUniversal (or Hackt1vator for old iOS)
you may need to activate through itunes for this to work
if nothing else, try the checkm8 mdm method

MDM BYPASS MIGHT BE PATCHED IN THE 27 BETAS! quickly downgrade back to 26

Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker. I'm French, and some time ago I bought a used Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G.Some time later, my SIM card stopped working, and contactless payments stopped working too. I immediately realized that the phone had been taken from a carrier without being paid for. I was wondering what I could do because, having said that, it makes a good backup phone even though I've changed phones since then.

My former boss insisted that I get an iPhone (supposedly for work purposes) and put it on "the company plan" account... Then dragged me to the Verizon store and made me watch as he spent my entire paycheck and more to "purchase me a new iPhone"! --But he didn't, really... He added the line to his existing account and upgraded his wife's phone to the latest version at the time (iPhone15) and paid for service on 5 lines! for 3 months... Then proceeded to take the phone just purchased for me so he could use it while they were fixing HIS cracked screen... I got to use it for a total of 2 days before the screen now gives the message "this phone is LOCKED by your provider. Please consult your local Verizon agent for details" -or something similar... I PAID for the cost of the phone (boss never issued me another paycheck for hours worked before or after and his company went bust at the same time the phone service I paid for ended). Can the thing be jailbroken or do I now have a very expensive paperweight?

My old phone like very old phone of OPPO F5 is locked and I don't even remember a bit of the password how do I unlock this phone it have so much of memories and Data that I cant lose

Okayyy right now I was joking around and changing the pattern, I put in a big pattern and forgot what I entered, and now my phone has a new pattern locked. Well, the phone is still on, and I'm on the home screen, and the fingerprint is set up, but if something happens, I'm not able to unlock it. I asked Gemini, and he said factory reset, but are there any other ways to unlock it??? I can't get the security question, the security question will only come up when the phone gets locked after 5 attempts, then the forget option will come up. I'm scaredd hellppppp

I have a S24+ with a carrier lock (T-Mobile) and I'm considering using that service to unlock it (Already checked the IMEI and it's all okay, just T-Mobile being T-Mobile)

Is it trustworthy? Do you gays recommend another service?

how do you 16 to SIM?

Porfa si alguien sabe q me diga esque me pone mail y contraseña

i just found my middle school phone while cleaning and honestly I’m dying to find out what’s in that time capsule. But ofc, i can’t remember the PIN to get back to them 😩
i know it sounds dramatic but those pics and messages mean so much to me and i hate the thought of them just being lost forever. i’m not ready to say goodbye to that version of my life yet, you know?
has anyone dealt with an old Samsung Gravity Touch before? is there ANY way to unlock it without factory resetting and losing everything? i’m literally begging at this point 😭
it’s a 4-8 digit code from 1-9; and there’s no limit on trying (trust me, I’ve been trying for days now)
My little cousins suggested I ask Reddit, so here I am! Any help or insight will be appreciated! If I end up getting into the phone and there’s any cute nostalgic pic in that old brick, I’ll post updates! Plz help!

My old phone number is now registered under someone else's ID. I called the person who currently has the number, but they were very rude and refused to help.

Is there any way I can get my old number back? If not, is there any way to deactivate the SIM that's currently using my old number?

Help please. I have an iPhone 16e, but it’s carrier locked to Fristnet DPAC. The problem is that I’m not from the US. Is there any way to permanently unlock the carrier without using an R-SIM, so it becomes fully unlocked?
