No idea. iPhones don't need to registered to be used.

Who said its not registered? Again, registered to what?


Your service provider should be able to give you a sim card you can insert into the iPhone to get mobile service.


Not sure what that website is, or is supposed to be telling you. Or what they mean by "temporarily available for use". You would need to contact the Website you are using for an explanation of their terms. That is not a phrase used by Apple.


Do note however, third party websites have no way of knowing anything about an iPhone from an IMEI number, so I would not trust whatever that website is saying.

I recently moved to north cyprus and I bought used phone from here and they said it’s not registered phone , sim won’t work in this . For resolving this işime I today go to register this phone from Bthk as you see in pic shared so now it’s showing IMEI is temporarily available for use what does it mean? Is it registered for few time or what ?
