The phone I received was just like a new phone so yes you would need to answer all the setup questions and enter an ID, setup wifi, etc.

No mine was not. Opened the box, charged the phone and took it to sprint to have it activated.

Mine didn't show a previous owner so no you don't need to know their screen lock password or apple ID. You would enter your own ID.

No. Just follow the instructions to register your iPhone in apple care protection. And then your iPhone is good under the protection.

The phone I bought was refurbished and was not locked. It was for my husband who lost his phone. He had not had a single problem with it.

Pretty sure it will just work. It may take the network a couple of minutes to register the new IMEI, so give it time once the phone is powered on.

you need to manually switch. you'll save yourself a lot of trouble if you buy directly from Apple or from a more reputable seller!

No it's not but u might be blessed to take it to the Apple Store and they may be able to unlock it cause each iPhone is made for each provider

Seems like you cant unlock it. And if you do you wont be able to use the most up to date softwards meaning you wont be able to have apps such as instagram google map and so on. I returned my iphone 2 cause it was useless

I did my activation from home. The book that comes with it is excellent. To activate all you have to do is go to the boost site and active a new handset. There is a lock on the phone but is easy to unlock cause it is a swipe lock. You touch the screen and take the lock off. I leave my lock on and just swipe when I am want to use it. I guarantee you will love this phone easy to operate and if you are computer literate you will have no problem with it Alan.

You have to activate your Iphone first, before you can use it. You're able to activate an iPhone without a SIM card, you can find it online. And if you need to use this SIM card to activate your phone, you need to call AT&T to activate it.

My original iPhone 4 connected until I did the first os upgrade. I have not tried it with the latest upgrade.

There's nothing you can do. Once a iPhone is reported stolen the only person who can lift is the original owner. They have to go under their iCloud. You're lucky the didnt call the police. U can track who its for though.

When buying a new iPhone check the seller discretion on the product. And make sure that is factory sealed. If you are buying a used iPhone do a system restore as soon as you receive yours and try operating it with different SIM cards just to make sure that it accept them all, if so then it's factory unlocked.Anyways most sellers will clearly indicates if it's just unlocked or factory unlocked.

Both of the iPhones I purchased were unlocked and worked perfectly. Good luck in your future purchases. :-)
