I've never had to activate a phone before


dont mean to bash apple but the ONLY time i had a shite problem like this was when i bought an iphone 4 for my wife from a guy on craigslist and ran into the same problem..they refused to activate it even though it was 'unlocked'.

i had to go to some sketchy ebay seller and pay like $2 to get a code or some shite.

i think its an apple-only thing..never ever seen anything like this with android and i've bought a shitton of androids on ebay & swappa since i am responsible for 6 people's phones.

I guess that could be true. I've gone through A TON of second hand Android devices, and I've never had to activate anything

It is probably an apple thing. When I went in the store to activate my Nexus, guy in front of me wanted to buy an iPhone outright. They said apple doesn't allow that.
