What To Do With Cheap Phones That Are Locked by Dwightventures(op): 8:52am On Apr 15, 2023

Hello. I bought a large number of phones in lots and when they arrived I realised many had the following locks:

Google factory data reset lock
PIN lock/pattern lock (user locks)
SIM lock
Icloud lock

These phones are mostly cheap stuff with some not even commanding 30k in the market. I've held on long enough. What can I do about them? My money is tied down in them.

Back in the day I only had to give them 500 naira or 1k at Computer Village to unlock my BlackBerry and that was what I had in mind when buying these things; I didn't know things have changed

I am very present on nairaland and my items have been well advertised. If I had willing buyers I would not be sending this SOS. Here is my thread: https://www.nairaland.com/7255494/american-phones-tablets-sale-varying
