Q: Why is it you only provide advise on unlocking and not ACTIVATION of new iphones ??


Hi and good day to you all !

 

I have an outstanding issue here with a BRAND NEW iPhone 6 plus which I bought more than a month ago through e-bay USA, I was not aware that this

iPhone 6 plus was tied to AT&T network service provider in the US (by the way, I am from Singapore, in the Asia)

 

I have tried so hard to sought help from Apple, AT&T and even some website on how to ACTIVATE (not UNLOCK) this iPhone 6 plus but still not able to do it.

 

Last reply that I received from AT&T US (even though I explained clearly that I needed this iPhone 6 plus to be ACTIVATED) are as follows :-

 

Congratulations! Here are your unlock instructions:

1. Open iTunes on you Mac or PC and verify that you have internet connectivity.

2. Ensure the original SIM card that came with this device is inserted in you iPhone.

3. Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone

4. Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes. For information on backup and restore, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

5. After restoring, your iPhone will be unlocked.

 

Please advise what should I do to get this iPhone 6 plus to be ACTIVATED and use in Singapore ??

 

Any advise would be highly appreciated !!

 

Thank you !

 

Warm regards

Steven
