Change the motherboard.

sorry bro. can't do anything except the owner pay her bills.

kesian beli 2nd hand tu

Here's another lesson. Only buy iPhone from authorised seller

WHats why, never buy 2nd hand iphone

Better buy Xiaomi 4A and put apple logo on it

report....report...

thanks for info , now i only know unbills will unlocked iphone... better take android

fuckup situation. similar to kereta sambung bayar. lel

Got cheated by seller. No choice leh. Go find the owner back or ask maxis how to settle this. But then maxis already asked to pay for the bill.

maybe I'm a noob but how did Maxis lock the phone. I'm pretty sure the icloud account belongs to your cousin.

The most maxis can do is blacklist the imei from their network to the best of my knowledge

help previous owner pay the bill and closed the account.

Android also can lock if I'm not mistaken. Unless you buy dual SIM phone, then can use the SIM 2 slot

maxis can 'lock' the phone?
stolen ke?

zerolution la tu. owner tak bayar bill maxis can block the phone.

Samsung also can lock. but samsung got 2 sim slot. usually sim 1 slot will block only.

then u take maxis to court. Y kacau u when that person already change phone. U can report them for doing that.

Now only i know that telco can lock other pipu phone wan ar...so powderful!

I guess they can access phone personal data too no?

i think the iphone is still got maxis contract thats why...

the 1 that take the plan tak nak bayar maxis bill so maxis lock the phone.

thy hv the IMEI..u signed their contract whn u purchased the phone plan..

so..yes..they can..

Dayum.

The unpaid money must be valuable than the phone itself until she decided to sell it off?

Imei lock by maxis means lock by all teco?

if you format it in the first place, can it lock the phone as well?

seriously ?? because i just heard this news from my friends.. but after my cousin bought it .

hahaaa ya lorr damn ! dont know what to do.. now my cousin crying HAHAA !

i think the cost can buy a new iphone

woah i never knew maxis can lock phone .... all those ah hem thing will be visible to maxis stuff ....

maxiss can lock phone de meh???

biar betiks

seriously? but i very curious.. how come maxis can locked the phone

yeap..

now is just a very expensive paperweight..

yahhh die beli 2nd hand.. tak tanya aku dulu sbb tu laa.. kalau dia tanya boleh survey2 kt forum

PPIM kan ada

*double post*

yeahhhh ! and dont buy telco set then ...

hahaahaa ! okay funny.. but later on while open it.. ITS XIAOMI !

If you buy directly from telco for your own use then okay la. If buy from others, then you just dig your own grave. I'm sorry for your loss

People want cheap wont bought from mudah.
Tkde duit beli iphone no need buy la

yaaa.. so dont buy a telco set.. esp maxis set.. but celcom digi or other telco .. i dont think so .. just heard maxis set only

hahaha ! but then ada PPIM .. and now ada apa?? elekkkk

yaa maxis said .. to solved this problem .. just pay the bill .. but my cousin ask owner's details but maxis said cannot give cos P&C damn !

yaa im just thinking how come he can blocked the iphone

those local repair phone shops cannot unlock?

cannot.. maxis said need to pay the bill till finish the plan.. if the owner take 2 years.. then you must pay the 2 years bill.. and the fuck up situation is , the owner will use that line for FREE !

bukan because of the owner tak bayar that bill .. for 1.5 months.. macam you buy a car.. after 3 months you tak bayar bank boleh tarik..

ipon or driod pon kah...all zerolution will locked if original owner does't settle the bills... they lock by imei.

okay yang ni tak faham.. zerolution means? mcm mana nak tahu itu zerolution set or not ?

ya i ask my cousin to report polis.. maxis patut cari that owner .. not my cousin / iphone

Hmmm.. new scammer method ah nowadays?

about personal data i think soo .. now technology become more powerful HAHA !

Nope. u have no locus standii.

the phone is an item under contract between the girl and maxis. by right she cannot sell the phone until the term of contract expires. but she sold it anyway, without knowledge or approval of maxis. now she didnt pay bill as per contract, so it is maxis right to lock the phone irregardless who is actually using the phone. you are not a party in the contract so u have no say.

this is like kereta sambung bayar arrangement, which is illegal.

zerolution means the owner go buy the phone via credit with maxis.

monthly they will pay the package price plus the phone price. without credit card. like maxis give u credit.

so when owner tak bayar bill maxis rugi la. then phone kena block. i guess the only way to find out is ask the owner for receipt of purchase lo.

yaaa ! its just 5-6 months old only.. for sure the plan not finish yet

new the phone can sales as spare parts only...lol...400~600...

zerolution biasanya 2 years contract

yaaa but if she sell cannot make call in / call out HAHA ! just use for spare part i think

already format.. still cannot use.. they block call in / call out

so, meaning that my Samsung can oso be locked by maxis then? since I buy from maxis, but not installment, I pay lump sum

IMEI block means everything cannot use la

here's the T&C for the maxis Zerolution if you curious to know
https://www.maxis.com.my/en/tnc/personal-tn...lution-tnc.html

1 thing for sure kena scam by seller d.....should contact seller to refund or ask the seller settle with maxis

maxis is lock by the iphone serial number...there is nothing can do with maxis unless you pay whatever the owner owe

yaa.. now they can but someone said it is zerolution set..

damnn..if this is true story then this is new scam method. my bro just purchased ip7+ used set 1 month. hopefully legit set

this type of scam actually already few years in malaysia ....

but there is a "method" that u can still use the hp

yaaa ! for own use then okay.. but from others then prefer not telco set .. haha ! my cousin's loss..

can.. but u must pay the bill for 1 year / 2 years

yahhh ! maybee.. so BEWARE.. they take the plan n sell to others without paying the bills.. and get the money RM3+++ for FREE ! damn !

ya ya ... its true hmmm !

Simple - use in other country. Only blocked in Malaysia thank Maxis zerolution scammers for this.

hmmmm never a case before
ayam always get my iphone from maxis since ayam so loyal to them and a good paymaster

show your cousin phone drillz la.. macam cool story je without any drillz

ohhhh CREDIT... no wonder maxis can locked the phone .. hmmm ! faham2 .. but kalau aada receipt then what can we do with the receipt?

manada, got skinlah

My kids Xiaomi4A looks exactly IOS lol

i believe this lock is not the usual apple iCloud lock.
Just phone blocked from use in Malaysia telco. ie, can't call/sms/data only.
I dont think Maxis can totally lock out the phone.

Can still use phone for others, wifi, games, etc.

if u pay lump sum then. there are no reasons for samsung to locked ur phone .

HAHAHA ! sell to foreigners.. HAHAHHA !

like my iphone i bought from maxis also. but i paid upfront in full for the phone. so im not considered zerolution.

if zerolution they will write it in the receipt.

WAHAHAHAH ! DAMN SHIT ! CLEVER !

This happened many many times before,

Owner buy postpaid iphone from telco, sell the iphone to get instant money, never pay bills.

In the end, buyer of the iphone kena locked by telco.

yaa ! they locked call in/call out n data.. YAAAAAA 7 plus a.K.a Ipod touch hmm

how much is the pending 1 month bil? just pay the bil lah...

shit happens in life bro...

So bahaya.

Luckily the telco set phone that I bought from someone couple of years ago still okay.

me too, but we are still tied to 2 year contract for the postpaid plan right? or can stop anytime?

Beli je iphone baru

It's in iPhone Zerolution Terms and Conditions


To those who confused.

It's not maxis' fault. It's the previous owner's fault

yaa if 1 month then i can ask my cousin to pay .. but maxis said need to pay till the plan finish bro

hahaa ! but i think only maxis.. celcom and digi or other telco i dont think so they will locked hmmm

hahahahahahahah parking scam

hahaha kesian bro diaa.. baru beriya nak pakai 7 plus.. sekali pakai sebulan setengah je .. huhuuu

Only block IN/OUT call?

Other functions can use?

BTW, not sure if there's such thing for Telco Phones, but there is however a method to unlock broadband for Telco. For eg. Celcom broadband that allows ppl use DIGI/MAXIS Simcard.

from what i can see, you only got few options:
1) get original owner to pay the bills and finish the contract (very likely to be impossible)
2) you pay off the contract yourself (stupid move)
3) continue to use as iPod (haha)
4) sell off to another country (looks like the best solution)

Might as well pay for 2yrs straight since the owner will do it again in future

Can stop but need to pay the remaining month bill. There's no fixed amount/penalty.

Cant do anytthing dy bro..unless kalau dia buat rayuan kat maxis la

This is something new to me. O.o

Do police report. I think this can fall under scam. Because seller doesnt mention the phone is under telco contract.

to test if really completely tak boleh guna..

ask ur cousin go buy cheap other telcos prepaid sim..

the phone is signal log. u put what sim also cant use... i bet sell oversea also is still locked.

yeap 2 years plan. but if we dont pay the bill, they dun have the right to block the phone. just the line.

can stop but need to pay penalty lo

track down seller, pee on him/her to show dominance


tbh, fon gg liao, idk about rayuan at maxis, but all the best meng
