Unlock an iPhone

Hello,


I have an iPhone 8+ that someone gave me and I would like to unlock it. I contacted the person who had it before me but I can't reach him. Is it safe and 100% legal to use the bypass methods such as paying specific websites to unlock it by giving the IMEI or changing the DNS?


Thanks.

They don't work. It's not a permanent, real bypass. You cannot unlock the phone and remove activation lock. Best thing is to recycle the phone and buy one from Apple directly so you don't face Activation Lock.
