Pick the lock type, then answer three quick questions — your price locks for 7 days.
🔒 What kind of lock does it have?
Financed — what this means
Pick this if money is still owed on the phone — to a carrier, a lease, or a financing plan. Everything else about it should be clean:
A balance is still owed — the phone isn't fully paid off
IMEI is clean (not blacklisted, not reported lost or stolen)
No iCloud or Find My account attached, and no passcode on the lock screen
Gets past the activation screen normally
Stuck on the activation screen? Choose Activation Locked instead.
Blacklisted or Blocked — what this means
Pick this if the phone has been blocked from cellular service for any reason. It should otherwise be free of account locks:
On a carrier blacklist or a global blacklist, for any reason
Bad ESN / IMEI reported
Can't connect to a cellular network because of the block (not a hardware fault)
No iCloud or Find My account attached, and no passcode on the lock screen
Stuck on the activation screen? Choose Activation Locked instead.
Activation Locked — what this means
Also called iCloud Locked. Pick this if the phone can't get past its activation screen or lock screen, or still has an Apple account tied to it:
Can't get past the activation screen
A passcode on the lock screen you can't remove
Any iCloud or Find My iPhone account still attached
Mobile Device Management (MDM) lock
Demo / display-model units
It's fine if the phone is also blacklisted or financed — Activation Locked covers it.
