Hi, first of all apple will not unlock your phone as you do not have the proof of purchase. Also, i would suggest never try to get your iphone unlocked from third party phone shops as they will just take your money and do nothing. Apple takes privacy very strictly and you will only be able to unlock the phone should you find the Original receipt.


you mentioned that you have 2 other people living with you, maybe you can ask them if they set up their id. Thats your only chance. Good luck!

Only Apple can unlock an iPhone activation lock. The people who charged you $100 were "over optimistic". Without proof of purchase it will unfortunately be useless to you. You will only know it is activation locked if you try to reset it to factory state.


(If you are talking about Passcode then you need a computer and the Apple ID password, and it will wipe the phone and you still need the AppleID password.

If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled)
