How to activate Iphone 5 shipped from Canada to Philippines

Hello,


How do I activate or open line my Iphone 5? I don't even know the apple I.D of the previous user of my Iphone 5. It came from Canada, it was a second hand Iphone. My auntie bought it from her friend I think and she didn't even ask for the apple I.D of her friend. So how do I activate this Iphone5?


I appreciate somebody who could help.


Thanks.

iPhone 5

If it has been activated already and not released by the previous owner, it will be very difficult to make it yours. Especially if it has iOS 7 or newer. See if you can get it to erase itself on Settings / General / Reset / Erase All Contents and Settings. If it works, you're in luck and can then set it up as new. Else you will be stuck with a brick. Maybe the previous owner, if reachable, can carry out as much as she can of this: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
