Hi everyone,
I'm writing from Angola. I bought a Motorola phone on eBay that turned out to be locked to Spectrum Mobile. I knew it was carrier-locked when I bought it — I just want to find out whether there's any chance of getting it unlocked.
Details:
- Device details show "Software Channel: spectrum" and "Network Lock: Locked"
- IMEI is not blacklisted (checked)
- I'm not the original account holder
- I live outside the US, so I can't call the toll-free support numbers, and the live chat requires an account sign-in
My questions:
Is there any way to check whether this device is eligible for unlocking without a Spectrum account?
Does Spectrum ever unlock devices for secondhand owners who aren't account holders?
Is there a channel that works for someone outside the US?
Any guidance would be really appreciated — including if the honest answer is that it's not possible.
Thank you.
