how to get unlock code from apple

I have a metro pcs phone and already purchased T-Mobile service thinking that it was a T-Mobile device. I bought it from a guy on line and I don't know his account info so metro won't give me the unlock code how do I get one from apple?

You don't. Apple does not give out codes. iPhones do not use unlock codes.


If the iPhone is locked to MetroPcs only they can unlock it.


The person you bought it from would need to request the unlock to MetroPCS since they would have been MetroPCS clients and can provide the info MetroPCS requires to unlock.

@Kappy, I don't believe Activation Lock is the issue here, rather Carrier Lock.
