I hаνе AT&T. Shе’s being ridiculous аѕ I’m аbουt tο gο tο a conference out οf state аnd need mу phone fοr safety reasons. I’m still іn high school ѕο ѕhе pays fοr іt аnd everything. Hοw dο I gеt AT&T tο re-enable іt? Dο I call? Dο I hаνе tο pretend I’m mу mom? I саn’t јυѕt talk tο hеr аbουt іt — уου don’t know mу mother. Please hеlр.
If the phone is registered under her name, you’re screwed. I’ll be straight with you. Sorry, but if you really need a phone, quick buy a prepaid for around $ 30.
This is how you can re-enable your iPhone:
1. Plug/connect your device to a computer (PC or Mac)
2. Turn it OFF
3. Press and hold the POWER and HOME buttons together for EXACTLY 10seconds
4. Release the POWER button but keep holding the HOME button until the computer beeps indicating that a USB device is recognized.
5. Open iTunes and restore your device.
Warning: Restoring will delete all data on your device but this is the only way for you to re-enable it. AT&T or Apple can’t help you with this, they’ll probably do the same steps if you bring it to them.
If you don’t get it at first, try holding the buttons for lesser time or see the other procedures and some screenshots on my tip (link below):
