Bout a iPhone 4S. Does anyone know how I can unlock it and turn it on? Or will it even be compatible with 5G?

Bought it second hand so I don't know who the previous owner was. But as old as it is, I assumed that they are aware that they don't have it no more. I don't think it's stolen but I can't get into it.

Return the phone for a refund, unless you paid nothing.....which is what the phone is probably worth. It is not even compatible with newer LTE, much less 4G or 5G.


Unless the previous owner followed the instructions in the link below, you will never get into the phone.
