Quick question. I bought a phone and it’s locked. Factory reset but requires the previous owners google to unlock. It’s an insurance sale. I have asked the seller to update me on any info but haven’t had a reply.

Is the phone a very expensive brick ?.

    You still have a contract. But I get that it may not be worth the trouble.

      Trying to get refund from seller. If not I’ll get the site involved. Just doo much hassle. Shame you can’t get company to unlock it. Very wasteful
