iPhone Reset

I'm having an issue resetting an old phone to Factory Settings and I keep getting the response "Verification Failed There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server". Any suggestions?

You need either a cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection to disable Activation Lock from the phone.


Start by following this Apple support article—>What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If the first part doesn’t work use the section on what to do if you no longer have the phone.
