Hi,
I received an iPhone 7 as a gift from my friend staying in the US.He had received this phone by the company he was working for.As he already owned an iphone 7 he never used it and the company never took it back when quit the job.
when I insert any indian sim card it says Sim not supported.Searching on the internet I found that the phone is locked to some service provider in the US.Phone was not used so knowing service provider and provided by the company so finding reseller name is impossible.
The only option left is third party service for activation.I have read that the imei number is blocked by apple in its database, than how can a third party enter the imei in apples database?
Please guide where and who locks the phone to prevent sim activation
