Is there a way to unbar an iphone 4?

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to unbar the iphone 4 by o2 without the orginal owners details? i bought one and the last owner wasnt the orginal owner(he has no contact), i need help 😞

I could provide proof of a buy with detailed informations about seller,buyer

I will pay if necessary, no problem

I have also international sim (payngo) and this works, ive tried unlocking form also, but with no luck.

All i want is phone that i paid for.

Help someone please.

You just need to use the phone with your SIM on the UK O2 network, then have £15 credit on the phone and fill in the unlock form.

I tried and i get this message....
I'm sorry, we have not been able to unlatch your iPhone at this time.
The reason given is: The Mobile Number provided has not been registered
to the IMEI provided
Thank you

If you have definately used the phone on O2 in the UK with the number you are putting on the unlock form and have correctly entered the IMEI number then you need to call CS on 4445 to check what details they have of the phone. You used the word "barred" I am assuming you mean "Unlock". If barred the phone is useless on any network.

if it has been barred, there must be a reason, stolen or lost. Sounds like you may have been conned

I agree.

If the imei has been blocked then that would only be connected to a lost or stolen iphone or the original owner has defaulted on their contract somehow.

Only the original owner can uplift the imei through the network that has blocked it.

The uk imei block holds only in the uk hence why your international sim works in it.

If you put=rchased through flea bay then lodge a dispute.

it wont get unbarred though as once it has been barred, the phone is useless
