Hello:
I am setting up one of my unused iPhone 5C and will give it o my dad as he need a spare phone for calling and texting. He will use his iPhone 6S with Fido’s tablet plan.
So I am setting this iPhone 5C and I cannot pass the Apple ID Verfication page. It keeps saying the Apple ID is locked and ask me to enter phone number associate with the number. After I enter the phone number and verfication code, it proceed with activating the Apple ID. After about a minute of waiting, it tells me Apple ID verfication failed. Then unknown error pops up. Then the setup process kicks me back to the enter Apple ID page. So I skipped the Apple ID part and continued for the setup.
After setup, I went to settings -> iCloud trying to setup father’s Apple ID. Same thing again.
I have never seen setup such complicated. I haven’t used iPhone for about 2 years now, all my Android devices have been easy to setup.
What should I do now? It just keeps looping around.
P.S. The phone is on iOS 9. I aboustely refuse updating to iOS 10. iOS 10 has been terrible on my iPhone 5. I do not want pass an unusable iPhone to my dad.
