How can be locked and its not even activated? Is this device stolen so apple locked it or what? Or maybe is locked on specific network? I dont want to buy anything wrong so thats why i want to check everything before i buy.


Thanx a lot for help.

Its easy to say if you have enough money to buy in the the store. I dont have, so thats why this looks interesting to me but dont want to buy anything wrong (stolen) to see police on my door. Thats why i want to know why this device is locked, is this something normal.


Btw. that guy have warranty and bill, but i cant belive 100% to this paper because its from another country so i cant check it is it false.
