I thought I made sure what I was doing before buying but the idiot rep with sprint played a part in getting me screwed over. And those who do offer to unlock an unpaid balance iPhone say that they can't guarantee it will relock again, and offer no refund for it after charging a ridiculous price.įor #2 - This is impossible for me, I think the guy on CL just hustled me. You have to be a bit careful with these ebay services because some say they will unlock it but only for international use (not including canada, i believe). Hey, thanks a lot for responding with that information.įor #1 - This was the first thing I looked at. I'm going to try this method today, since I have an iPhone with good ESN but outstanding balance on the previous owner's account. So, by spending $10 and a little bit of work, you've removed the outstanding balance, you can go to another MVNO, or you can use it on another GSM carrier.
Will an unpaid balance lock a phone sprint plus#
So, if you have it for 3 days, it's going to be $2/day plus tax.
You'll only have to pay for the days you had service. If you cancel your Sprint service within 3 days of opening, there will no activation fees. After it's done, cancel your Sprint service. DSU unlock shouldn't take over 1 or 2 days. Also most people have said DSU unlock automatically does ISU for 5c, 5s, and above. Once you've opened it, request for a DSU unlock (don't ask for ISU since you need to have service for 90 days for postpaid plans / 1 year for prepaid). Open an account with Sprint with the iPhone with the outstanding balance. This is probably the best solution, but requires a bit of work. Most likely, you won't get that if you bought it off eBay or craigslist. Then you can move to another MVNO and/or unlock it. If you know the person who originally owned the phone, ask him to pay off his bills. This will only unlock for GSM use and will not solve issue for using on Sprint's MVNOs. eBay has a few services and jgtechblog also has one for $100. If you want to unlock it without any hassle, buy an unlock that accepts outstanding balance.
There's a few options for making the iPhone available for other MVNOs and for unlocking it.
