A device under this status should not have any lock types associated with it. Additionally, the
following should all be true:
- Fully paid off with no money owed to any carriers or leasing entities
- IMEI status must be clean
- Free from association with any iCloud, Find-My-iPhone account(s), or lock screen passcodes
Note for AT&T devices: Try unlocking your device via AT&Ts website. If the device is unable to
be unlocked, it will not fall under our “No Locks” status.
Financed
A device under this status can have a remaining balance owed to a carrier or other leasing
entity. In short, the following is true:
- A device that is not fully paid off
- Under finance / money still owed
- IMEI status must be clean
- Free from association with any iCloud, Find-My-iPhone account(s), or lock screen passcode
Blacklisted/Blocked
A device under this status can be blacklisted and/or blocked by a carrier or other third-party
entity. In short, you can select this status if your device is:
- On a permanent “blacklist” either globally or by a carrier
- Blacklisted and/or blocked for any reason
- Bad ESN
- Unable to be used on a cellular network as a result of a blacklist/block and not a hardware
malfunction
-
Free from association with any iCloud, Find-My-iPhone account(s), or lock screen passcode
Note: If your device is unable to move past the activation screen, please select “activation
locked” as your status.
Activation Locked
This lock type is also commonly referred to as “iCloud Locked”. A device under this status is
usually unable to move past its activation screen or its lock screen. “Demo” devices and devices
with a “mobile device management” lock also fall under this category. In short:
- Any device that is unable to move past its activation screen
- Any device that has a passcode lock on its lock screen
- Any device with any iCloud or Find-My-iPhone account(s) associated with it
- A device that has a “mobile device management” or “MDM” lock
- “Demo” model devices
Note: It is OK if your device is also blacklisted/blocked.
