[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1778085, member: 396914"] OK, no luck. Tried EE again, store no help, says the phone is "locked to the US." What? Really? Tried a Vodaphone SIM, same response, the guy in the store said it was the Activation Lock, and to talk to Apple. Looked online, Apple says Activation Lock is turned on with Find My Phone, but I had turned off FMF before this saga started. When I look for how to turn off Activation Lock, it says to turn off FAF, log out of iCloud and then reset the phone. Do I really have to do that? I'd prefer not to be resetting my iPhone on a two week trip. I do have a current backup to my local MBP, and it's encrypted so I should have all the data and stuff, but before I reset it, can anybody tell me if that really will unlock Activation lock or not?
