iPhone 8 Plus Unlock

Hi there,

 

I recently bought a iPhone 8 Plus online that is locked to AT&T. I was wondering is there anyway I can unlock it and use it in Canada?

I currently have an active SIM card with Public Mobile (TELUS).

 

Thanks!

Hello! I bought a phone from the hands of the iPhone 8+ in Ukraine, but as it turned out that it was not paid. How can I find out the debt to unlock the phone?

@Vadymka Only the original owner can pay off the phone. AT&T will not give you any information on the original owner and or the amount remaining on the phone. It will stay locked to AT&T until the original owner pays the remaining amount due. Best bet is to sell the phone as locked to AT&T to try to recover some of the money you paid for the phone.

It turns out that I will be a scammer if I sell a locked phone

Thanks for the advice, I will look for someone to whom to sell. The bad thing is that you are not punishing the debtors, but those people whom they deceived.
