Don't post your phone number, these are user-to-user public forums - I've asked the hosts to remove it.


Locked how ? If it's locked to a carrier then contact the carrier that it's locked to, only they can potentially unlock it.


If you mean activation lock and it's locked to the previous owner's account via Settings > iCloud then contact that person, nobody on here (nor Apple) can help.

Are you talking about carrier SIM lock or Activation Lock?


If you mean a carrier lock only the carrier it is locked to can unlock it.


If you mean Activation Lock only the person who set the lock can unlock it.


In either case, anyone who takes money to unlock it is just a crook.
