US Reseller Flex Policy
Hi there,
I have a very big problem. So I bought an iPhone at Walmart in Miami. I asked for an unblocked iPhone to use it with a foreign carrier and they sold me said phone.
After arriving overseas, I put a SIM card in the phone but the iPhone tells me the SIM Card is not valid.
After some research, I realized that the phone is not activated yet but comes with a "US Reseller Flex Policy". How I understood it, the iPhone needs to see an American SIM card first, then it blocks itself to this provider. I could then go to this provider and get it unlocked for international use.
Walmart is little helpful with this issue and told me that I need to bring the phone back to the store to as they can't do this over the phone. I am already overseas and flying back to the USA is out of question.
Is there anything I can do to get this sorted?
Thanks,
Bernhard
