To find out if the phone's Activation Lock is active, follow this:

How do I check for Activation Lock before purchasing a used device?

When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.

You can check the current Activation Lock status of a device by visiting icloud.com/activationlock from any Mac or PC.


You can also check the status by filling in the serial number on this page: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
