If it’s brand new it shouldn’t be locked. When you turn it on it should say “Hello”. If you bought the phone from someone other than an Apple store or Apple authorized reseller you got a used phone. The previous owner has to unlock it, thanks to Apple’s theft-deterrent Activation Lock.


This is what the previous owner has to do→What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Does the phone power up to the "hello" screen? It will, if it really is "new". If it doesn't, it is not new.



If not new, best to return the phone for a refund. Otherwise, unless the previous owner can unlock the phone for you, the phone will be useless to you.


That information that you received about contacting the provider with the IMEI was WRONG.
