    Default Been Had, I think!

    bought a used fone from an old co-worker - when she showed it to me it worked just fine...i purchased a week later and the scrn said IPhone disabled. she said that was b/c she had to disconnect from her line and all i needed to do was put my sim card in.(current ATT user) But I did and nothing's happening. Tried connecting to iTunes, but it says b/c of passcode cannot connect...wtf does this mean? i'm at a lost, any help would be extremely appreciated..

    Thx.

    AFAIK, if you get the 4 digit passlock code from her iTunes will then see it. You can then restore and go through the iTunes activation process with a correct SIM. Or ulock with iLiberty and use whatever SIM you like.

    Not to judge, but your screen name makes me think that you didn't get the phone legally.
