Have had this iPhone 8+ for 5 years. It's a found phone....I ASSURE YOU I did not steal it and resent anyone who would suggest otherwise. NO one ever called to recover this phone.(???) After 5 years I think it's safe to say it's now mine. I'd like to be able to use this phone and as you can guess , it's activation locked. Would, if I could, a factory reset allow me to reset the the Icloud? If not, is there a way I can fully use this phone by removing the ICloud activation lock? Very skeptical of all the 'remove activation lock" pirates out there. It's a shame to have such a good phone going to waste. According to ITunes: Activated: NO - Jailbroken: NO - Apple I.D. lock: OFF - IOS version: 12.3.2(16F250) - Model: iPhone 8 Plus I hope there is a way to restore full service to/for this phone.

THANX:
Rick
